1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

IAA is a by-product of the water disinfection process and has been found to be neurotoxic. However, the role and mechanism of IAA neurotoxicity remain unclear. In this review, we comprehensively discuss the neurotoxic effects and mechanisms of IAA from the molecular level, cellular level and neurological manifestations. At the molecular level, IAA causes neurotoxicity by reducing mitochondrial membrane potential, aggravating oxidative stress and DNA damage. At the cellular level, IAA causes neurotoxicity by inducing BBB disruption, neuroinflammation, and apoptosis. In neurological manifestations, IAA can lead to neurotransmitter disorders, neurodevelopment dysfunction, and even neurodegenerative diseases. Taken together, our review provides insights into the mechanisms of IAA neurotoxicity that will contribute to future studies of IAA neurotoxicity and its protective strategies.
