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

Indoor air pollution remains a pressing public health challenge, with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from household materials contributing to respiratory dysfunctions, neurological disorders, and increased carcinogenic risk. Among these, benzene poses a particular threat due to its established links to hematological malignancies. Addressing this issue requires scalable, low-energy purification strategies. Experiments were conducted in controlled environmental chambers using Aglaonema black and Dracaena deremensis to assess benzene removal under varying temperature and humidity conditions. This study introduces an experimental framework to assess how temperature and humidity modulate benzene phytoremediation by ornamental plants under controlled conditions. In sealed 1 m
