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 March 2020, COVID-19 was officially classified as a pandemic and as a consequence people have adopted strenuous measures to prevent infection, such as the wearing of PPE and self-quarantining, with no knowledge of when the measures will no longer be necessary. Coronavirus has long been known to be non-infectious when airborne; however, studies are starting to show that the virus can infect through airborne transmission and can remain airborne for a significant period of time. In the present study, a spark-induced plasma spectroscopy was devised to characterize the air propagation of the virus in real-time. The risk of air propagation was evaluated in terms of changes in virus concentration with respect to distance traveled and measurement time. Thus, our study provides a benchmark for performing real-time detection of virus propagation and instantaneous monitoring of coronavirus in the air.
