Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aerosols carrying viruses that are released from the oral cavity of infected individuals are the primary, if not the only, means of transmission during viral respiratory disease epidemics. This makes crowded rooms and tiny, enclosed public areas like bathrooms prime environments for the transmission of diseases. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde are two contaminants that pose serious threats to human health and well-being in indoor environments. The varied disinfectant properties of chlorine dioxide (ClO2) make it a key player in treating a range of air quality issues. To balance effectiveness and safety, however, the careful application of chlorine dioxide is essential to achieving the best results in air quality while preserving human health and well-being. This study explores the many functions of chlorine dioxide, including the prevention of the spread of viruses, the elimination of harmful gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, and its effects on formaldehyde and total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) in indoor environments using BT100. The results indicate a reduction of 98.5%, 81.01%, 62.22%, 46.5%, and 63.84% in minimizing aerosolized viruses, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide gas in addition to formaldehyde and total volatile organic compounds.
