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

Occupational exposure as a firefighter was recently classified as carcinogenic to humans by the IARC. Fire instructors' exposure to carcinogenic PAHs is a major concern, and studies that have tried to assess the determinants of their exposure are scarce. An air and biomonitoring study was conducted in fire instructors performing simulated training exercises in enclosed containers. Air samples were collected, as well as urine samples from 22 firefighting instructors, and skin wipes were collected from FFs' skin at the end of the exercises. PAH metabolites (1-hydroxypyrene, 3-hydroxybenzo(a)pyrene, 2/3-hydroxyfluorene, and 2/3-hydroxyphenanthrene) were measured in urine samples at three sampling times (beginning of shift, end of shift, and next morning). Airborne PAHs were dominated by low molecular weight compounds (naphthalene), and levels were as high as 67 µg·m
