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

On separate occasions nearly a decade apart, two large-scale accidental releases of industrial chemicals exposed substantial "bystander" (non-worker) populations to highly toxic air pollutants. The first of these events, occurring in Bhopal, India in 1984, generated worldwide attention and concern given its geographic scope and significant lethality. The second incident, occurring in Dunsmuir, CA in 1991 - while less publicized - yielded new insights into the pathogenesis of irritant-induced asthma. Linking these events is the fact that the toxicants involved - methyl isocyanate (MIC) in Bhopal and methyl isothiocyanate (MITC) in Dunsmuir - preferentially bind to the same TRPA1 nociceptive ion channel. This review examines each of these exposure events, including their mechanistic implications for anticipating (and potentially preventing) future long-term health effects from accidental chemical exposures.
