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

Experimental infection of animals with aerosols containing pathogenic agents is essential for an understanding of the natural history and pathogenesis of infectious disease as well as evaluation of potential treatments. We evaluated whether the Aeroneb nebulizer, a vibrating mesh nebulizer, would serve as an alternative to the Collison nebulizer, the "gold standard" for generating infectious bioaerosols. While the Collison possesses desirable properties that have contributed to its longevity in infectious disease aerobiology, concerns have lingered about the liquid volume and concentration of the infectious agent required to cause disease and the damage that jet nebulization causes to the agent. Fluorescein salt was added to the nebulizer contents to assess pathogen loss during aerosolization. Relative to fluorescein salt, loss of influenza virus during aerosolization was worse with the Collison than with the Aeroneb. Four other viruses also had superior aerosol performance with the Aeroneb. The Aeroneb did not improve the aerosol performance for a vegetative bacterium,
