Assessing the cytotoxicity of aerosolized carbon black and benzo[a]pyrene with controlled physical and chemical properties on human lung epithelial cells.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is a complex mixture of hazardous particles containing hundreds of inorganic and organic species. Organic components, such as carbon black (CB) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), are known to exhibit diverse genotoxic and carcinogenic effects. The toxicity of CB and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has been well studied, however the combined toxicity is much less understood. A spray-drying system was used to control the size and chemical composition of PMs. PMs were prepared by loading BaP on three different sized CBs (0.1 μm, 2.5 μm, and 10 μm) to obtain BaP-unloaded CB (CB
