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

introductionParticulate matter (PM) is a harmful air pollutant associated with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, but its effects on adaptive immunity are poorly understood.

objectivesThis study investigates the role of NRF2 in T cells in mediating immune and pulmonary responses to long-term PM exposure, highlighting its impact on inhalation toxicity.

methodsTo establish a mouse model of lung injury induced by PM exposure, C57BL/6 mice were intranasally administered 20 μg/kg PM

resultsMice exposed to PM for 16 weeks showed severe lung damage, such as inflammatory cell infiltration, thickened alveolar walls, and increased oxidative stress and apoptosis. PM exposure also increased collagen and fibronectin levels, indicating tissue remodeling. Immune cell analysis revealed reduced B cell expansion, increased IL-4-producing CD4

conclusionsThese findings highlight how PM exposure disrupts immune balance and exacerbates conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by promoting T
