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 systematic review of publicly available papers on indoor radon data from 1980 to 2023 was conducted to provide a preliminary understanding of indoor radon concentration levels and trends in China. Keywords were used to collect literature on indoor radon surveys in China during the periods of before 2000, 2000-2010 and after 2010 in the CNKI, WANFANG, VIP and PubMed databases. This paper also collected indoor radon concentration data from WHO, UNSCEAR publications and PubMed databases for other countries. A total of 37,886 indoor radon concentration data points were collected in China, covering 31 provinces. The results showed that the weighted and arithmetic mean radon concentrations in China were 29.4 Bq/m
