Assessment of ultraviolet and infrared radiation transmission through automobile windshields and side windows.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Excessive exposure to solar radiation, particularly ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) rays, poses significant health risks, including skin damage and an increased risk of skin cancer. While the penetration of UV radiation through vehicle windows is well-documented, the potential transmission of IR radiation remains less recognized. Methods: A total of 1,293 participants participated in a survey to assess awareness of solar radiation risks and protective behaviors, revealing a notable lack of attention to protective measures despite widespread knowledge of the risks associated with solar exposure. This study investigates UV and IR radiation exposure inside and outside vehicles in the Middle East, a region known for its extreme temperatures exceeding 52°C. Radiation levels were measured using a PMA2100 data logger radiometer in 20 vehicles. Results and discussion: The results demonstrated the ability of both UV and IR radiation to transmit through vehicle windows. For instance, the highest UV transmission through the side and front windows were recorded at 1.70 and 0.80 mW/cm
