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

Climate change is considered to intensify radon migration into houses, increasing health risks. Energy efficiency strategies can contribute to indoor radon accumulation, particularly in the winter and summer seasons, when buildings are sealed to maintain thermal comfort. Studies in various regions of the world have shown that meteorological factors influence indoor radon concentration either directly or indirectly. Seasonal variations in radon levels have been observed, with winter concentrations exceeding summer levels by 2-5 times, while extreme weather events further impact radon exhalation. Epidemiological data indicate that the increase of indoor radon concentration by 100 Bq/m
