DNA adducts form in mouse lung and liver after oral naphthalene exposure.
Article in Toxicological sciences : an official journal of the Society of Toxicology, 2025. 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
Naphthalene is a ubiquitous combustion product and environmental contaminant with known human exposure. Chronic exposure to naphthalene vapor leads to respiratory tumor formation in rodents. Naphthalene forms DNA adducts (precursors to genotoxicity) in tissue explants but it is unclear if this occurs in vivo. Wild-type C57BL/6 mice were orally exposed to 50 mg/kg 14C-naphthalene. Naphthalene-DNA adducts were detected by accelerator mass spectrometry at 2- to 72-h post-exposure in both lung and liver, with decreasing abundance over time. Adducts persisted even at 72-h after exposure, which indicates possible evasion of DNA repair and potential to contribute to mutagenesis.
