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

Owing to their tunable structural and functional characteristics, innovative materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become a research focus in scientific communities, demonstrating significant potential across biomedical applications, including targeted drug delivery, tumor detection technologies, and sophisticated medical imaging diagnostics. Despite the growing interest in their therapeutic potential, the systemic and pulmonary toxicity of MOFs remains inadequately explored, particularly about the long-term effects of metal ion release during degradation. This study investigates the pulmonary toxicity of three widely studied MOFs, UiO-66, ZIF-8, and HKUST-1, focusing on the mechanisms of oxidative stress and inflammation. The in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that HKUST-1 induced significant cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in lung cells, primarily due to its copper content. In contrast, UiO-66 and ZIF-8 exhibited minimal toxicity. These results emphasize the essential requirement for understanding the toxicological profiles of MOFs and highlight the necessity of modifying their structure to enhance safety for biomedical applications.
