Seasonal evaluation of culturable bioaerosols and airborne particulate matter in Iranian hospital wards using a Monte Carlo health risk model.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
This study aimed to measure fine particulate matter (PM) concentrations and culturable bioaerosols (bacteria and fungi) in the indoor air of operating (OR) and emergency (EM) rooms, as well as internal wards (INT) in hospitals in Bushehr city, Iran. For the first time, the Monte Carlo model was employed to assess health risks associated with PM release into hospital indoor air, focusing on healthcare workers. A four-stage impactor and a one-step Anderson contact sampler were used to determine PM and bioaerosols, respectively. To assess the non-cancer risk associated with contaminants (PM), we calculated the Hazard Quotient (HQ). This evaluation was conducted using Crystal Ball software, which performed 1000 independent iterations at a 95% confidence level. The highest PM concentration recorded was 115.6 μg/m
