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

People spend most of their time inside buildings. Therefore, indoor air quality monitoring contributes to improve health and well-being. Several studies focus on the critical impact of particulate matter on residential air quality. In 2016, particulate matter caused 412 thousand premature deaths in 41 European countries. This paper presents the development of an affordable health information system for enhanced living environments. The authors propose a cost-effective, modular, scalable, and easy installation solution for particulate matter monitoring. The system is connected to ThingSpeak. It can be installed in any type of building. It requires only a power source and a Wi-Fi network with internet access. The main contribution of this paper is to present the detailed architecture and testing results. The particulate matter monitoring system was installed for one week in a domestic kitchen with an open fireplace. The results showed impact of the biomass burning on indoor air quality. The mean values per day ranged from: 10.53 to 50.62 μg/m
