1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 project aimed to develop an innovative mask design, aided by 3D printing technology that was able to protect its wearers against virus infection. The project was motivated with the intention of helping to fight Covid-19, but that its use was extensive as an option to N95 and similar masks, already on the market, even after the pandemic. Whose main design objective was that the mask had a sealing efficiency based on a half-face mask and that it could be used in conjunction with masks made of antiviral fabrics, such as, for example, a surgical mask that has its filtering capacity already tested and approved and, which would be the filter element of the mask. The mask was also intended to be reusable so that it could be washed for cleaning, with only the fabric filter element being disposable.
