A risk-based approach to reducing exposure of staff to laboratory animal allergens.
Review in Lab animal, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Within the biomedical research industry, people who work with laboratory animals may be at risk of developing laboratory animal allergy, which can lead to occupational asthma. Under UK and EU laws, employers must prevent or adequately control exposure to any hazardous substance, which includes animal allergens, so far as reasonably practicable, for the protection of all people on the premises. This can be achieved in part by reviewing the risk of allergen exposure in specific areas of a facility and implementing appropriate infrastructure, environmental and performance controls to minimize that risk. The authors describe the approach used at their institution to stratify risk of allergen exposure in various areas of the animal facility and to implement appropriate controls. They also discuss their use of a monitoring program to evaluate allergen concentrations in low- and high-risk areas of the animal facility and explain how the monitoring results can be applied to determine which controls are needed to minimize risk of exposure and to provide a safe working environment.
