Enlightenment of re-entry airflow: The path of the airflow and the airborne pollutants transmission in buildings.
Article in Building and environment, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Viable aerosols in the airflow may increase the risk of occupants contracting diseases. Natural ventilation is common in buildings and is accompanied by re-entry airflow during the ventilation process. If the re-entry airflow contains toxic or infectious species, it may cause potential harm to residents. One of the Covid-19 outbreaks occurred in a public residential building at Luk Chuen House (LC-House) in Hong Kong. It is highly suspected that the outbreak of the disease is related to the re-entry airflow. The study attempts to explain and discuss possible causes of the outbreak. In order to understand the impact of airflow on the outbreak, a public residential building similar to LC-House was used in the study. Two measurements M - I and M - II with the same settings were conducted for a sampling unit in the corridor under low and strong wind conditions respectively. The sampling unit and the tracer gas carbon dioxide (CO
