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

Wind speed has an important impact on the formation and dispersion of fine particulate matter (PM), which can cause several health problems. During the transition from the winter to the summer season in northern Thailand, the wind speed has been low for longer than usual, which has resulted in fine PM accumulating in the air. Motivated by this, we have identified a need to investigate wind speed due to its effect on PM formation and dispersion and to raise awareness among the general public. The hourly windspeed can be approximated by using confidence intervals for the ratio of the medians of three-parameter lognormal distributions containing zero values. Thus, we constructed them by using fiducial, normal approximation, and Bayesian methods. By way of comparison, the performance measures for all ofthe proposed methods (the coverage percentage, lower and upper error probabilities (LEP and UEP,respectively), and expected length) were assessed
