Enhancing the filtration performance of common substrates used in the Covid-19 respiratory protection equipment with nanofiber coatings.
Article in Heliyon, 2025. 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
With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant increase in the demand for facemasks as an effective means of protection. As a result, a variety of materials, including woven and nonwoven fabrics, have been utilized as filtration mediums in respiratory protection equipment (RPEs). However, many of these RPEs, despite their widespread use, do not provide adequate protection against aerosols and bioaerosols. Recent studies have demonstrated that nanofiber coatings possess properties that can enhance the protective capabilities of RPEs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of applying nanofiber coatings on the filtration properties of common substrates used in RPEs. Specifically, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and PAN modified with CuBTC nanofibers (PAN/CuBTC) were coated onto seven common types of substrates used in RPEs: two types of melt-blown fabric with grammages of 15 and 25 g/m
