Residential Outdoor Environments for Individuals with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Severe sensitivity to various environmental chemicals affects an increasing number of people-a condition referred to as Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). The responses are both physical and psychological, where avoidance of chemical triggers can lead to social isolation, thereby increasing the level of disability. There is a need for user supportive environments where people with MCS can thrive, both indoors and outdoors. The study resulted in three principles for designing outdoor housing areas: (1) using spatial analysis to create a site layout that minimizes exposure to external and confounding triggers (e.g., noise, visual disturbances); (2) using zoning to clearly delineate private from semi-private areas; and (3) selecting vegetation and materials carefully to avoid triggers. The principles were developed in an iterative process based on existing research combined with a survey involving 58 MCS respondents.
