A novel sampling cassette for field-based analysis of respirable crystalline silica.
Article in Journal of occupational and environmental hygiene, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Field-based methods for the analysis of respirable crystalline silica are now possible with the availability of portable instrumentation. Such methods also require the use of cassettes that facilitate direct-on-filter analysis of field samples. Conventional sampling cassettes can be modified such that they are amenable to direct-on-filter analysis while remaining compatible with common respirable dust samplers. The required modifications are described herein, and one version of such an analysis-ready cassette is described and evaluated in comparison to more traditional cassette designs. The novel cassette was found to result in a slightly higher mass of collected respirable material (for the same sampling duration), though this is likely due to the conductive material of the cassettes, which prevents particle wall losses in comparison to the more commonly used styrene cassette material. Both types of cassettes demonstrated comparable predictability in terms of respirable crystalline silica in a sample.
