Investigation of relative humidity distribution and its impact on disinfection using a combination of robotic fogger and hydrogen peroxide.

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.
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
Background: Relative humidity is a key factor in the disinfection process. Aim: To examine the distribution of relative humidity, and the time required to reach its mean value in the target area when using a robotic fogger with 7.4% hydrogen peroxide. Methods: The study evaluated the device in both stationary and mobile operation modes. In each mode, relative humidity sensors, along with chemical, biological, and enzyme indicators, were employed to assess the disinfection's effectiveness and consistency. Results: The device dispersed disinfectant at a rate of 30 mL/min over 45 min in both modes. A shorter time to reach the mean relative humidity is desirable for effective disinfection. It was observed that the mobile mode reached the mean relative humidity 50% faster, maintained this level for an additional 30 min, and achieved an 11% higher relative humidity compared to the stationary mode. Conclusion: These advancements could assist pharmaceutical manufacturing and healthcare facilities in minimizing downtime during periodic disinfection.
