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

A variety of low-cost sensors have recently appeared to measure air quality, making it feasible to face the challenge of monitoring the air of large urban conglomerates at high spatial resolution. However, these sensors require a careful calibration process to ensure the quality of the data they provide, which frequently involves expensive and time-consuming field data collection campaigns with high-end instruments. In this paper, we propose machine-learning-based approaches to generate calibration models for new Particulate Matter (PM) sensors, leveraging available field data and models from existing sensors to facilitate rapid incorporation of the candidate sensor into the network and ensure the quality of its data. In a series of experiments with two sets of well-known PM sensor manufacturers, we found that one of our approaches can produce calibration models for new candidate PM sensors with as few as four days of field data, but with a performance close to the best calibration model adjusted with field data from periods ten times longer.
