Intensity-dependent Temperature Rise Induced by Local Exposure to 26.5 GHz Quasi-Millimeter-Wave in Rat.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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
BACKGROUND/
aimThe widespread use of fifth-generation 5G millimeter-waves (MMW) generates concern about potential adverse health effects. The latest international guidelines for MMW exposure adopt an absorbed power density (APD) of 200 W/m MATERIALS AND
methodsThe rat dorsal skin was locally exposed to a 26.5 GHz quasi-MMW (qMMW) for 18 min using a patch antenna. The qMMW exposure intensities estimated by dosimetry were set to 0-500 W/m
resultsThe qMMW-induced local temperature increase at different sites. The dorsal skin temperature increased by approximately 11.3°C at a maximum intensity of 500 W/m
conclusionThese results suggest that the operational threshold for the MMW exposure guidelines is valid under the present experimental conditions using rats.
