Diffusive uptake rates for passive air sampling: Application to volatile organic compound exposure during FIREX-AQ campaign.
Article in Chemosphere, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Passive (diffusive) sampling using sorbents is an economical and versatile method of measuring pollutants in air, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Diffusive uptake rates (UTRs) are needed for each analyte to obtain average concentrations during a specific passive sampling time duration. Here, a simultaneous active/diffusive ambient air sampling technique on Tenax®TA was employed to measure 24-hours, 7, 14 and 28-days UTRs of up to 27 VOCs, including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (BTEX), C6-C12 hydrocarbons, benzenes derivatives, tetrachloroethylene, pinenes and limonene. Samples were analyzed via thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS) for desired analytes. Seven-day UTR values ranged from 0.17 to 0.59 mL/min and many compounds exhibited a linear relationship with UTR and time duration up to 14 or 28 days. This may be the most comprehensive UTR tabulation of VOCs on Tenax®TA for time periods of 24 hours -28 days available. These rates were applied to VOC data measured during the 2019 NASA/NOAA Fire Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air Quality (FIREX-AQ) campaign, with goals to determine the chemical composition of western US wildfire smoke and to assess human exposure to air toxics. Summer 2019 exposure levels of BTEX at five Northwestern cities were low and the cancer risk due to benzene was assessed during FIREX-AQ to be background or 1 × 10
