Acoustic environments of intensive care units during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in Applied acoustics. Acoustique applique. Angewandte Akustik, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This study aims to investigate the typical noise levels and noise sources in an intensive care unit (ICU) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Acoustic experiments were conducted over 24 hrs in patient wards and at nurse stations in four Chinese hospitals. From the measurements, noise levels and sources were analysed in terms of the A-weighted equivalent sound pressure levels (
