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

Background: Indoor environments in schools affect children's health and learning, but without indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring, staff have limited data to inform interventions. We aimed to demonstrate the utility of comprehensive real-time classroom IAQ monitoring for informing interventions and investments in schools. Methods: We created analytical datasets of classroom carbon dioxide (CO Findings: Over the school year, 245 million CO Interpretation: Our academic-school partnership enabled actionable research in support of IAQ improvements. The heterogeneity of CO Funding: Boston University Initiative on Cities, Boston University School of Public Health, National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation.
