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
A total of 171 sets respirable dust samples were collected from 25 underground coal mines in several regions of the United States. One sample from each set was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) to determine particle size and mineralogy distributions. Results from the first eight mines were presented in the original dataset (Sarver et al., 2019). Here, the dataset is updated to include results from all 25 mines and to further subclassify particle mineralogy using improved SEM-EDX routines. The current article presents particle mineralogy binned by size between about 100-10,000 nm on a per sample basis, and data is also available on a per particle basis. Discussion of the SEM-EDX data is included in a parallel research article "Particle size and mineralogy distributions in respirable dust samples from 25 US underground coal mines" (Sarver et al., 2021). Moreover, sequential digestions and analysis of the digestates by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) were used to estimate mass concentrations of potentially bioaccessible and total-acid soluble metals and trace elements in the respirable dust samples. Results are included here for a total of 76 samples representing 15 mines; results from first eight mines were presented in the original dataset (Sarver et al., 2019) and discussed in an earlier research article (Sarver et al., 2019).
