In-home air filtration for improving cardiovascular health: lessons from a CBPR study in public housing.
Article in Progress in community health partnerships : research, education, and action, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundParticulate air pollution, including from motor vehicles, is associated with cardiovascular disease.
objectivesTo describe lessons learned from installing air filtration units in public housing apartments next to a major highway.
methodsWe reviewed experience with recruitment, retention, and acceptance of the air filtration units.
resultsRecruitment and retention have been challenging, but similar to other studies in public housing. Equipment noise and overheated apartments during hot weather have been notable complaints from participants. In addition, we found that families with members with Alzheimer's or mental disability were less able to tolerate the equipment.
conclusionsFor this research, the primary lesson is that working closely with each participant is important. A future public health program would need to address issues of noise and heat to make the intervention more acceptable to residents.
