Ventilation impacts on infection risk mitigation, improvement of environmental quality and energy efficiency for subway carriages.
Article in Building and environment, 2022. 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
Subway carriages are enclosed for extended periods of time, with a high density of passengers. Providing a safe, healthy, and comfortable cabin environment is a great challenge, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. An increase in ventilation rate can potentially reduce infection probability, which may result in worsening environmental quality (e.g., thermal comfort) and larger energy consumption. Thus, exploring the trade-off among infection risk, environmental quality (with regard to ventilation, thermal comfort, and air quality), and energy consumption is important to optimize ventilation systems for carriages. The effect of different supply air parameters (e.g., velocity and temperature) and ventilation modes of mixing ventilation (MV) & Supply air from the Floor and Return air from the Ceiling (SFRC) was studied. The questionnaires were analyzed to explore passenger dissatisfaction with the carriage environment using a MV system. Simulations were performed to predict the velocity, temperature, and CO
