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

Urban particulate matter (UPM) is a major environmental pollutant known to induce systemic inflammation. While its respiratory toxicity is well-documented, the potential vulnerability of the female reproductive system to inhaled UPM remains a critical concern. In this study, we evaluated female reproductive outcomes in a murine model following repeated short-term intratracheal instillation of UPM (40-200 mg/kg) for a month. Our results demonstrate that while UPM exposure induced robust, dose-dependent pulmonary inflammation, characterized by immune cell infiltration (CD45+, F4/80+, and Ly6G+) and upregulation of pro-inflammatory (
