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

Air filters are crucial components of building ventilation systems. Compared to conventional air filter media like glass fibers and melt-blown fibers, electrospinning membranes are more efficient for capturing various pollutants due to the smaller pores present on the structure. In this paper, activated carbon filters were prepared with eco-friendly polylactic acid (PLA) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) using electrospinning to obtain a high-quality factor (QF) fibrous mat for aerosol particle matter (PM) filtration and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) adsorption. Several configurations of the final membranes were investigated and tested for fiber morphology and air filtration performance. Filtering efficiency and adsorption properties were evaluated in a real-scale room by measuring the particle penetration of the newly synthesized and commercial filters against neutralized aerosol particles (3% NaCl aqueous solution) and VOCs (methyl ethyl ketone). The calculated depolluting efficiencies were up to 98% in terms of PM and 55% for VOCs abatement, respectively. Our results indicate that the proposed hybrid membranes represent promising materials for highly efficient and sustainable air filters for home application systems.
