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

We tested the filtration efficiency of Stryker T5 surgical helmets with and without the addition of a filter medium. Two particle counters were used to count the particles of sizes .5 μm, 1 μm, and 5 μm, both inside and outside the Stryker T5 helmet, concurrently. The total inward leakage (TIL) for the helmet with and without the filter was zero for 5 μm particles at all time points. The TIL (3.4) for the .5 μm particles decreased significantly after application of the filter (1.7;
