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

backgroundThere is increasing attention on the effects of residential fossil fuel combustion, particularly the use of natural gas or oil, on indoor air quality. Given the prevalent use of natural gas in Canadian homes, understanding its influence on indoor air quality is important.

objectiveThis study investigated associations between indoor levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO

methodsUsing mixed models and general linear models, we evaluated the associations between potential sources and pollutant concentrations, conducting both city-specific and pooled analyses for winter and summer seasons.

resultsOur findings indicated that gas stoves, present in 24% of the homes, were significantly associated with increased indoor NO IMPACT: This study enhances understanding of the association between fossil fuel combustion and indoor air quality in predominantly detached homes. It highlights differences in pollutant levels between homes with gas and electric cooking, which can inform advice on cooking practices to reduce emissions in homes.
