Contribution of toxicological pathology to occupational health: lung carcinogenicity of fibrous and particulate substances in rats.
Review in Journal of toxicologic pathology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In this review, we focus on the rat pulmonary carcinogenicity of two solid substances, fibrous multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and particulate indium tin oxide (ITO). Inhalation exposure to MWNT-7, a type of MWCNTs, and ITO induced lung carcinogenicity in both male and female rats. Toxicity to the alveolar epithelium is induced by macrophages undergoing frustrated phagocytosis or frustrated degradation of engulfed particles (referred to as frustrated macrophages). Melted macrophage contents contribute significantly to development of hyperplasia of the alveolar epithelium, which eventually results in the induction of lung carcinoma. MWNT-7 and ITO induce secondary genotoxicity; consequently, a no-observed-adverse-effect level can be applied to these materials rather than benchmark doses that are used for non-threshold carcinogens. Thus, establishing occupational exposure limit values for MWNT-7 and ITO based on the existence of a carcinogenic threshold is reasonable.
