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

Aim of this study was to find out if demographic factors (age and body weight) have an impact on the sensitivity of peripheral lymphocytes towards DNA damage caused by extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF), to which humans are exposed worldwide. Cells from three different groups (young normal-weight, young obese, and old normal-weight individuals) were treated with different intensities of ELF-EMF (50 Hz, 50, 200 and 1000 µT) in combination with genotoxic agents, which cause damage to the genetic material via different molecular mechanisms. BPDE (benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide) is a metabolite of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P); 4-nitroquinoline oxide (4NQO) is a UV-mimetic agent; the metal compounds NiCl
