Impact of biomass fuel exposure from traditional stoves on lung functions in adult women of a rural Indian village.
Article in Lung India : official organ of Indian Chest Society. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionExposure to biomass fuel (BMF) from traditional cookstoves inflicts an enormous burden of morbidities in women across the developing world. This study aims to assess the lung function and its association with the indoor air pollutants generated using BMF. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study including 310 women was conducted in a rural village of India. Households were divided into two groups based on the cooking fuel, the BMF group and the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) group. Information on respiratory symptoms and socioeconomic status was obtained using a standard questionnaire. Indoor air concentration for PM
resultsOn comparing the two groups, the concentration of PM
conclusionsThis study shows a high prevalence of respiratory symptoms and an abnormal pulmonary function in women exposed to BMF.
