Estimation of the UV susceptibility of aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 to 254 nm irradiation using CFD-based room disinfection simulations.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. 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
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has raised interest in efficient air disinfection solutions. The application of germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) irradiation is an excellent contender to prevent airborne transmission of COVID-19, as well as other existing and future infectious airborne diseases. While GUV has already been proven effective in inactivating SARS-CoV-2, quantitative data on UV susceptibility and dose requirements, needed to predict and optimize the performance of GUV solutions, is still limited. In this study, the UV susceptibility of aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 to 254 nm ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is investigated. This is done by employing 3D computational fluid dynamics based simulations of SARS-CoV-2 inactivation in a test chamber equipped with an upper-room UV-C luminaire and comparing the results to previously published measurements performed in the same test chamber. The UV susceptibility found in this study is (0.6 ± 0.2) m
