Understanding the Neurologic and Cognitive and Behavioral Effects Associated With Exposures to 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 3 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
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the neurologic, cognitive, and behavioral effects of jet fuels used by the US military.
methodsA fit-for-purpose systematic literature review approach based on the US EPA's IRIS handbook was used to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the scientific evidence. Data were synthesized to evaluate evidence for specific neurologic health outcomes.
resultsShort- and long-term adverse effects on sensory functions (ie, auditory, visual), memory and cognition, motor coordination, and peripheral nervous system were observed in human and animal studies following exposure to jet fuels.
conclusionsThe evidence indicates that exposure to jet fuels is likely to cause neurotoxicity in humans. Overall, the results indicate that the nervous system is sensitive to jet fuel exposure; however, uncertainty remains due to the limited number of quality epidemiologic studies and the large variety of jet fuels studied.
