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
aimsState-of-the-art bioaerosol samplers have poor collection efficiencies for ultrafine virus aerosols. This work evaluated the performance of a novel growth tube collector (GTC), which utilizes laminar-flow water-based condensation to facilitate particle growth, for the collection of airborne MS2 viruses. METHODS AND
resultsFine aerosols (<500 nm) containing MS2 coliphage were generated from a Collison nebulizer, conditioned by a dilution dryer and collected by a GTC and a BioSampler. The GTC effectively condensed water vapour onto the virus particles, creating droplets 2-5 μm in diameter, which facilitated collection. Comparison of particle counts upstream and downstream revealed that the GTC collected >93% of the inlet virus particles, whereas the BioSampler's efficiency was about 10%. Viable counts of the GTC-collected viruses were also one order of magnitude higher than those of the BioSampler (P = 0·003).
conclusionThe efficiency of the GTC for the viable collection of MS2 viruses exceeds that of industry standard instrument, the BioSampler, by a factor of 10-100. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study reveals that the GTC is an effective collector of viable MS2 aerosols, and concludes the instrument will be an effective tool for studying viable virus aerosols and the inhalation risks posed by airborne viruses.
