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

Urban air quality management is dependent on the availability of local air pollution data. In many major urban centers of Africa, there is limited to nonexistent information on air quality. This is gradually changing in part due to the increasing use of micro air sensors, which have the potential to enable the generation of ground-based air quality data at fine scales for understanding local emission trends. Regional literature on the application of high-resolution data for emission source identification in this region is limited. In this study a micro air sensor was colocated at the Physics Department, University of Ghana, with a reference grade instrument to evaluate its performance for estimating PM
