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

The purpose of the study is to discuss the appropriate HVAC operations in civil buildings from a perspective of engineering experience, to provide a safe and healthy indoor environment for working and living, responding to the prevention of COVID-19 transmission in buildings. The study reviewed the previous theoretical studies of relations between increased ventilation and the transmission of the virus, and based on a premise of value orientation, addressed that increasing the ventilation was still one of the most effective ways to promote the anti-epidemic property in the buildings. The study thus summarized the current characteristics of different HVAC systems in buildings, and put forward the target operation strategies respectively, which effectively increased the fresh air flow rate and meantime ensure the normal operation of the buildings. Suggestions as to the anti-epidemic designs for the newly constructed buildings were further presented. The outcomes of HVAC operation strategies are beneficial for instructing the normal operation of the building HVAC systems in the epidemic.
