Assessing the Carcinogenic Potential of Jet Fuels: A Fit-for-Purpose Systematic Literature Review.
Synthesis in Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to determine whether exposures to jet fuels lead to cancer-related health effects.
methodsA systematic literature review was conducted following the US EPA's IRIS handbook, incorporating epidemiologic, animal toxicological, and mechanistic studies. The carcinogenic potential of jet fuel was assessed according to EPA's 2005 Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment.
resultsIncreased risks of various cancers, including kidney, bladder, and skin cancers, were observed in humans and animals exposed to jet fuels, which were supported by mechanistic data.
conclusionsThe available studies provide suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential for jet fuels. However, uncertainty remains because of to the limited number of high-quality epidemiologic studies and the wide variety of jet fuel types examined. Further research is needed to establish a more definitive link between jet fuel exposure and cancer risk.
