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

The scientific evidence supporting airborne transmission of pathogens in closed spaces highlights the inefficiency of current air circulation and filtration technologies (e.g., HEPA filters, UV, ozone, ionization) in preventing the spread of airborne pathogens. This underscores the urgent need for new air disinfection devices. Here, the first air sterilization technology is presented based on low-temperature interfacial evaporation. This novel approach integrates superhydrophilic micro/nano-structured stainless-steel filters and ultra-efficient magnetic inductive heating to enable complete evaporation of water from the contaminated aerosols and the precipitation of all the organic and inorganic residues within the filter at temperatures in the range of 60-80 °C. The technology is validated through experiments with contaminated aerosols with different active viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), demonstrating the elimination of 99.6% or more of the nebulized viruses, at filter temperatures of 60-80 °C and airflow rates of 15 L min
