Evaluation of cough-jet effects on the transport characteristics of respiratory-induced contaminants in airline passengers' local environments.
Article in Building and environment, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Urgent demands of assessing respiratory disease transmission in airliner cabins had awakened from the COVID-19 pandemics. This study numerically investigated the cough flow and its time-dependent jet-effects on the transport characteristics of respiratory-induced contaminants in passengers' local environments. Transient simulations were conducted in a three-row Boeing 737 cabin section, while respiratory contaminants (2 μm-1000 μm) were released by different passengers with and without coughing and were tracked by the Lagrangian approach. Outcomes revealed significant influences of cough-jets on passengers' local airflow field by breaking up the ascending passenger thermal plumes and inducing several local airflow recirculation in the front of passengers. Cough flow could be locked in the local environments (i.e. near and intermediate fields) of passengers. Results from comparative studies also revealed significant increases of residence times (up to 50%) and extended travel distances of contaminants up to 200 μm after considering cough flow, whereas contaminants travel displacements still remained similar. This was indicating more severe contaminate suspensions in passengers' local environments. The cough-jets was found having long and effective impacts on contaminants transport up to 4 s, which was 8 times longer than the duration of cough and contaminants release process (0.5 s). Also, comparing to the ventilated flow, cough flow had considerable impacts to a much wider size range of contaminants (up to 200 μm) due to its strong jet-effects.
