Passenger exposure to respiratory aerosols in a train cabin: Effects of window, injection source, output flow location.
Article in Sustainable cities and society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Nowadays the use of public transportation (PT) has been identified as high risk as due to the transfer of particles carrying the coronavirus from an infected passenger to others. This study puts forward a new computational framework for predicting the spread of droplets produced while the infected passenger talking inside the cabin of a train during various scenarios, including the changes in the outflows' location and the infected passenger's position. CFD was used to conduct the study, using the Euler-Lagrange approach to capture the transmission of particles, and Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS) to compute the airflow field. The results revealed that opening the window reduces the duration of particles inside the domain. So that when the window is open, the particle's shelf time can decrease to 25 percent comparing with closed mode. It was found that the passenger sitting next to the infected passenger encountered the highest infection risk. The conclusions made in this work show that the most desirable situation is obtained when the infected passenger is sitting next to the exits, whether the window is closed or open. The results of this paper offer comprehensive insights into how to keep indoor environments safe against infection aerosols.
