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

Rationale: Methods: A chamber-style exposure system and the designed manifolds were evaluated for exposure uniformity Results: The manifolds produced less variation in simulations and physical deposition of FITC-dextran aerosol across well plates compared to the chamber system. Distinct doses of cannabis concentrate vapour were delivered to well plates with minimal variation among wells. Whole tobacco smoke exposure using the manifold system induced functional changes in Calu-3 barrier function, cytokine production (interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8) and cell membrane potential. Cannabis smoke led to reduced primary HAEC barrier function in a dose- and strain-dependent manner. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate the feasibility and the validity of our open-source 3D printed manifolds for use in studying multiple exposures and position our designs as an accessible option in parallel with commercially available systems.
