Indoor Nanoparticle Emissions and Exposures during Heat-Based Hair Styling Activities.
Article in Environmental science & technology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Heat-based hair styling activities, such as straightening, curling, and waving, emit volatile and semivolatile chemicals when used with hair care products like creams, lotions, and serums. This study investigates the formation of airborne nanoparticles (6-500 nm) during such activities as a previously unrecognized source of indoor air pollution. Experiments conducted in the Purdue zEDGE Test House revealed that hair styling at temperatures above 300 °F produced indoor nanoparticle concentrations ranging from 10,000 to over 100,000 particles cm
