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

Poor indoor environmental quality is a major concern for both humans and companion animals-yet its impact on the latter is often overlooked. This mini review sheds light on indoor radiation sources that may affect the health of companion animals. Radon, primarily from the ground and possibly also from cat litter, naturally occurring radionuclides in feed, radiofrequency radiation from mobile and cordless phones, Wi-Fi networks, pet tracking devices, solar radiation, and various sources of extremely low frequency radiation are all common examples. Indoor radiation, an odorless and tasteless pollutant, may have the potential to negatively impact the health and well-being of companion animals, which are involuntarily exposed to this environmental health risk factor. Therefore, preventive and precautionary measures are necessary.
