Histological and inflammatory effects of 26.5 GHz quasi-millimeter wave exposure on rat skin.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Information regarding the biological effects of localized exposure to quasi-millimeter waves (qMMW) is limited. Given that qMMW exposure can elevate skin temperature and potentially induce thermal injury, further investigation is required. In this study, we aimed to evaluate histological changes and the expression of inflammation-related markers in rat skin tissue locally exposed to 26.5 GHz qMMW, as well as investigate the threshold for inflammatory responses. Methods: The dorsal skin of rats was locally exposed to 26.5 GHz qMMW at absorbed power densities (APD) of 0, 250, 370, and 500 W/m Results: Histological analysis revealed burn-like tissue damage in the 500 W/m Discussion: Localized exposure of rat skin to qMMW induces burn-like tissue degeneration and triggers an inflammatory response. This effect may be thermally induced by qMMW irradiation, with the threshold estimated to range between 370 and 500 W/m
