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
The increase in population in urban areas has increased the demand for housing. In cities that could not adapt to the population increase, the attempt to fit more houses in a unit area has emerged. This situation caused the application of created designs ignoring the natural and microclimate data of the cities. Since Erzurum is located on the high plain surrounded by mountains, it is one of the coldest cities in Turkey with its long-term annual mean temperature of 5.7 °C. The aim of this research is to reveal the effects of the urban morphology on thermal comfort and its relationship with air pollution in Erzurum. Steps of the research methodology can be summarized as determination of measurement areas, physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) analysis, air pollution analysis, and mapping. The city center is located at an altitude of 1850 m from the sea level, and the open rural area has the lowest altitude of 1650 m from the sea level with respect to the surrounding mountainous terrain. The microclimate data of the meteorological stations in the three study areas and government monitoring station and air pollution data have been recorded hourly in 2018. The recorded data was analyzed with the RayMan pro 2.1 model, which is a widely used simple index PET for obtaining outdoor thermal comfort. According to the research results, the highest PET value of Erzurum was obtained in the city center as 11.4 °C and then the urban transformation district as 6.3 °C, and the lowest PET was obtained from the open rural area as 4.5 °C. In the areas that have low PET values and cold stress issues, it was observed that the air pollution data are low. The city center was detected to have the highest air pollution parameters. It was determined that urban morphology, air pollution, and thermal comfort had significant correlations.
