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

Radon, a radioactive gas and the second leading cause of lung cancer, poses significant health risks in enclosed spaces. This study examines radon concentrations in residential buildings across Khuzestan Province, Iran, exploring seasonal variations and building-related influences, to establish a baseline radon profile and inform public health strategies. A cross-sectional study measured indoor radon levels in 343 homes using CR-39 solid-state nuclear track detectors during the cold (December-February) and warm (June-August) seasons of 2024. Stratified random sampling ensured representativeness across Khuzestan, varying in geology and urban density. Key variables included building age, height, floor type, and structural framework. Spatial distribution was mapped via Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) and Ordinary Kriging (OK). Statistical analyses (t-tests, ANOVA) assessed differences (p < 0.05). Mean radon concentrations were higher in the cold season (119.93 ± 113.15 Bq/m
