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

In studying indoor air quality, the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from wood-based panels and products is considered a main influencing factor. VOCs with low concentrations, even below the detection limit, can also have negative effects. Herein, VOCs emitted from particleboards and laminated boards were collected and analysed by GC-MS, and key odorous VOCs were identified using the odor activity value. Compared with laminated boards, particleboards showed higher concentration of total volatile organic compound (TVOC). Halogenated compounds, esters, and aromatic hydrocarbons were main contributors to total VOC emissions, which could relate to the addition of additives used during panel manufacturing. Eleven VOCs were identified that listed as hazardous air pollutants in the US Clean Air Act. Aldehydes were the major contributor to the OAV; most aldehydes have unpleasant odors, such as fatty acids, which contribute to the smell of surrounding air. Octanal was the dominant odorant in the aldehyde compounds.
