Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation for filtering facepiece respirators disinfection to facilitate reuse during COVID-19 pandemic: A review.
Synthesis in Photodiagnosis and photodynamic therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundTo review the effect of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) as a disinfection method for filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) to facilitate reuse during COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsSystematic review of the research concerning UVGI for FFRs disinfection to facilitate reuse (also termed limited reuse) during respiratory infectious diseases where aerosol transmission is considered possible.
resultsUVGI is one possible method for respiratory disinfection to facilitate the reuse of dwindling supplies. Appropriate dose UVGI exposition could provide enough energy to effectively decontaminate respiratory viral agents and maintain respirator's integrity for reuse. There was not currently sufficient research evidence on the effect of UVGI to inactivate coronaviruses SARS-CoV-2, and the practical application of UVGI is still unclear. .
conclusionAppropriate dose UVGI exposition could provide enough energy to effectively decontaminate respiratory viral agents and maintain respirator's integrity for reuse. Further evidence concerning UVGI as a decontamination technique specifically for SARS-CoV-2 isneeded.
