Comparative Carcinogenicity of Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes of Different Lengths Administered by Intratracheal Installation into Rat Lungs.

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
We previously carried out an in vivo 2-year study to assess the potential toxicity/carcinogenicity of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) in a rat lung. We found that administration of DWCNTs by intratracheal-intrapulmonary spraying (TIPS) at a dose of 0.5 mg/rat induced the development of lung tumors in 7 of 24 treated rats while 1 of 21 untreated rats and 1 of 25 vehicle treated rats developed lung tumors. In the current study, we administered DWCNTs of different lengths, 1.5 µm, 7 µm, and 15 µm, to rats by TIPS to investigate the possible effect of the length of this thin, flexible CNT on toxicity/carcinogenicity in rat lungs. Rats were administered DWCNTs with lengths of 1.5 µm (D1.5), 7 µm (D7), and 15 µm (D15) by TIPS once every other day over the course of two weeks for a total of eight administrations. The total dose administered was approximately 22 × 10
