Case Study: Room Fumigation Using Aerosolized Hydrogen Peroxide-A Versatile and Economic Fumigation Method.
Article in Applied biosafety : journal of the American Biological Safety Association, 2019. 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
Introduction: Formaldehyde is still the method of choice for fumigation of rooms and HEPA filters at high- and maximum-containment facilities because of its proven track record and low cost. However, formaldehyde has been shown to be carcinogenic and should ideally be replaced by other, less hazardous methods. This change has in part been hampered by the relatively high cost of alternative methods. Methods: Here, we provide examples of room fumigations using aerosolized hydrogen peroxide showing not only that it can be used economically but also that it is a versatile method and may be used under circumstances not normally suited for fumigation. Results and Discussion: Four examples of fumigation setups are presented that illustrate the versatility, ease of use, and adaptability of aerosolized hydrogen peroxide as a fumigant. In addition, we demonstrate that aerosolized hydrogen peroxide passes through HEPA filters in biological safety cabinets and individually ventilated cage racks. Conclusions: Considering that the fumigation method presented here is simple and highly effective, we expect it to serve as a relatively cost-effective alternative to formaldehyde fumigation for disinfecting potentially contaminated rooms and surfaces.
