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

Reducing airborne disease transmission is a public health goal. Far-UVC light, defined as 200-235 nm, is a promising technology to inactivate viruses within occupied spaces. This work examines state of the art far-UVC emitting LEDs, with a center emission wavelength of 233 nm, for virus inactivation efficacy and for DNA damage to skin models. The LEDs were used to expose an aerosolized surrogate of SARS-CoV2, the human coronavirus OC43, and survival results estimated a susceptibility constant of k
