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

Plants can improve indoor air quality, and affect the work efficiency and subjective perceptions. However, the conclusions of existing experiments regarding how plants affect work efficiency are not uniform. To further explore this subject, this study designed five different working conditions, and selected a variety of "general tasks" and "tasks requiring concentration" as operational tasks. The effects of the plant arrangement and quantity on work efficiency were studied by analyzing the performance of subjects in different working conditions. The effects of the plants on the subjective perceptions were investigated using questionnaires. The experimental results show that the effects of plants on work efficiency were related to the nature of the work, the placement of the plants, and the number of plants. Plants had no effect on the efficiency of general tasks such as "symmetry breadth," but had a positive impact on the efficiency of general tasks such as "operational breadth." Moreover, by changing the arrangement and quantity of plants, the efficiency of general tasks could be increased by up to 19.1%. In contrast, plants placed within a coincident view had a negative impact on the efficiency of "tasks requiring concentration," and the work efficiency could be reduced by up to 12.4%. In addition, plants could increase enthusiasm and willingness to work by 12.5% and 11.8%, respectively.
