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
A "Community Condensation Particle Counter" (cCPC) has been developed to provide an affordable monitor of airborne particle number concentrations. The cCPC is an expansion-type condensation particle counter that incorporates single particle counting to yield a direct measurement of number concentration. Particle number concentrations are derived from the detection of individual droplets exiting the cell during the expansion, combined with the pressure readings and the physical volume of the particle cell. Modeling and experiment confirm detection of particles as small as 4 nm, with >95% detection above 20 nm. For 12 days of ambient sampling two collocated cCPCs exhibit a pooled standard deviation of 3.5%. Comparison to a pair of benchtop instruments (ADI MAGIC CPCs) yields a correlation of R
