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

this study investigates the health risks and cytotoxicity associated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from non-incineration devices used in hospital waste management. The research focuses on the levels of BTEX compounds (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes) across four hospitals in Tehran, Iran, during the period from October 2022 to March 2023. BTEX concentrations were measured using Gas Chromatography (GC), and cytotoxicity was evaluated through the MTT assay on A549 cells.Results revealed that toluene was the most abundant BTEX compound, with concentrations ranging from 69.30 to 136.68 µg/m
