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 paper presents the results of a study examining the protection time of half-masks containing different types and quantities of carbon sorbents. The protection time afforded by the half-masks was determined by analyzing the adsorption of three substances harmful to human health at their maximum allowable concentrations. Two of the tested half-masks showed comprehensive protection against pollutants contained in smog. Among the tested half-masks, the one with the best protective properties was identified. The longest protection time (over 8 h) was recorded for toluene, followed by over 7 h for sulfur dioxide, and only 2 h for cyclohexane. The morphological structure of nonwovens incorporating the carbon sorbents was examined under a microscope. The study showed that protection time depends on the size of activated carbon particles incorporated in the nonwoven structure as well as on their distribution. Based on these results, we identified the most effective morphological structure of the sorbent in the nonwovens.
