Ambient air pollution in gastrointestinal endoscopy unit.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03724565 (Air Quality Check in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Unit Using Air Quality Monitoring Sensors), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 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.

Abstract
backgroundThe gastrointestinal endoscopy unit is frequently exposed to gastrointestinal gas expelled from patients and electrocoagulated tissue through carbonation. This can be potentially harmful to the health of not only the healthcare personnel but also patients who undergo endoscopy. This study aimed to measure the air quality in the endoscopy unit.
methodsWe measured indoor air quality indices (CO
resultsCO
conclusionsHealthcare personnel and patients who undergo endoscopy are frequently exposed to ambient air pollution. Health-related protective strategies for ambient air pollution in the endoscopy unit are warranted. CLINICALTRIALS. GOV REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03724565.
