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

Exposure to charcoal biomass (CB) pollutants affects the cardiorespiratory system. We assessed cardiopulmonary responses (CPR) to exercise in charcoal producers (CPs) compared to farmers and evaluated the prevalence of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). Forty-five CPs and 36 farmers, healthy males aged 23-39, completed a 15-m Incremental Shuttle Walk and Run Test (15-m ISWRT). Air quality index (AQI) and CO intoxication were measured, CPR was assessed through heart rate (HR), blood pressures (SBP, DBP), and spirometry at rest, peak exercise, and during recovery at 5 and 15 min. Aerobic capacity (VO
