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
introductionThe extensive use of 6PPD in tire rubber has led to its increase in atmospheric tire wear particles. 6PPD reacts with ozone to form 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), a respiratory toxicant enriched in tire and road wear particles.
objectivesThe aim of this study is to decipher the potential sensitive target organs and toxic actions by inhalation exposure to atmospheric 6PPD-Q.
methodsThis study employed a mouse inhalation exposure model to simulate environmental levels of 6PPD-Q at three concentrations of 0, 0.14, and 14 mg/m
resultsThe findings revealed that, compared to pulmonary, cardiovascular, and metabolic organ damage, 6PPD-Q-induced neurotoxicity was more persistent and irreversible, particularly characterized by prolonged anxiety-like behaviors. Histopathological analyses of the basolateral amygdala, using Nissl staining and markers of neuronal aging, indicated substantial neuronal degeneration linked to elevated oxidative stress, identifying this region as a critical target of 6PPD-Q neurotoxicity. Transcriptomic analysis uncovered that the expression of Egr1, a transcription factor crucial for neuronal plasticity, was markedly dysregulated. Findings of significant downregulation at the gene level and an upward trend in protein expression suggest thatEgr1expression is influenced by translational efficiency, epigenetic modifications, and post-translational regulatory mechanisms. Egr1dysregulation disrupted downstream networks involving solute carrier proteins and calcium-binding proteins, contributing to aberrant neurobehavioral outcomes. Notably, the elevation ofEgr1protein levels in the basolateral amygdala but not in the cerebral cortex highlights the region-specific nature of 6PPD-Q's neurotoxic effects.
conclusionThis study provides the first insights into the neurotoxicity and irreversibility of inhaled 6PPD-Q exposure, paving the way for future research into the long-term neurological consequences and regulatory mechanisms of 6PPD-Q.
