Chromium (VI) promotes lung cancer initiation by activating EGF/ALDH1A1 signalling.
Article in Clinical and translational discovery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and is strongly associated with tobacco smoke exposure. Though smoking remains the most important and best studied risk factor, recent data suggests that several other carcinogens have a driving role in lung cancer development, particularly in select populations at risk of high or prolonged exposure. Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is a known carcinogen that is widely used in the manufacturing industry. While the link between Cr(VI) and lung cancer incidence is well-accepted, the mechanisms through which Cr(VI) promotes lung cancer development are poorly understood. In the present study by Ge and colleagues published in
