Radon and Neoplasms.
Article in Toxics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Radon is a carcinogenic factor, but the effects of the potential carcinogenicity of radon progeny on the human body during the prenatal period have not yet been explored. Based on data regarding the half-lives of radon-222 and radon-220 and their progeny, this paper considers their potential effects on the human body in the prenatal period. Radon-220 represents a small fraction of the total radon concentration in the air, but the dose of radon-220 progeny may have a significant effect in the prenatal period, as the precursors of polonium-212 exhibit substantially longer half-lives than the corresponding precursors of polonium-214. Theoretically, it is possible that radon-220 decay products, particularly polonium-212, are the predominant emitters of alpha particles in the prenatal period. Studies aiming to establish a relationship between exposure to radon during pregnancy and the subsequently observed incidence of childhood neoplasms should consider this observation.
