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

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is an immunologic reaction to a dermal chemical exposure that, once triggered in an individual, will result in an allergic response following subsequent encounters with the allergen. Air Force epidemiological consultations have indicated that aircraft structural maintenance workers may experience ACD at elevated rates compared to other occupations. We aimed to better understand the utility of non-animal testing methods in characterizing the sensitization potential of chemicals used during Air Force operations by evaluating the skin sensitization hazard of Air Force-relevant chemicals using new approach methodologies (NAMs) in a case study. We also evaluated the use of NAM data to develop preliminary candidate surface guidelines (PCSGs, maximum concentrations of chemicals on workplace surfaces to prevent induction of dermal sensitization) for chemicals identified as sensitizers. NAMs for assessing skin sensitization, including in silico models and experimental assays, were leveraged into an integrated approach to predict sensitization hazard for 19 chemicals. Local lymph node assay effective concentration values were predicted from NAM assay data via previously published quantitative models. The derived values were used to calculate PCSGs, which can be used to compare the presence of these chemicals on work surfaces to better understand the risk of Airmen developing ACD from occupational exposures.
