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

This study presents, for the first time, the results of long-term measurements of radiation dose rates from cosmic and terrestrial gamma rays conducted at the Polish Polar Station Hornsund (southwestern Spitsbergen, 77°00'N, 15°33'E). The analysis focuses on the influence of meteorological factors (snow depth, temperature), cosmic conditions, and solar activity on the radiation dose rate in the Arctic region over the period 2016-2024. The mean gamma dose rate during the investigated period was 0.0990 µSv/h (median: 0.1018 µSv/h), with daily average minimum and maximum values of 0.0676 µSv/h and 0.1324 µSv/h, respectively. In comparison to the global gamma average dose rate (0.0970 µSv/h), the observed levels do not pose an additional radiation exposure risk to individuals residing at the Polish Polar Station Hornsund. However, ongoing climate change, particularly the reduction in the duration and extent of snow cover, has led to an increase in the average gamma dose rate, which may have implications for populations inhabiting polar regions.
