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

HFO-1234ze(E) is being developed as a next-generation propellant (excipient), with near zero global warming potential, for use in pressurized metered dose inhalers. In accordance with regulatory guidance, an assessment of the carcinogenic potential of HFO-1234ze(E) was required to gain regulatory approval as a new excipient. HFO-1234ze(E) was therefore evaluated in two-year carcinogenicity studies in mice and rats by the inhalation route of administration. Study assessments included in-life observations, organ weights, histopathology, and hematology. Group mean (sex combined) inhaled doses were 2132, 6218, and 21,193 mg/kg/day in mice and 379, 120,8 and 3918 mg/kg/day in rats; in both studies, control animals were exposed to air alone under the same conditions as HFO-1234ze(E)-exposed animals. HFO-1234ze(E) was well tolerated at all doses. There were no HFO-1234ze(E)-related in-life effects and no neoplastic or non-neoplastic findings or effects on hematology in either study. In summary, HFO-1234ze(E) was not carcinogenic in mice or rats. These data support the use of HFO-1234ze(E) as a medical propellant.
