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

This study aimed to investigate the association between indoor air quality (IAQ) parameters and the prevalence of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) symptoms among university students in different types of classrooms. The research responds to growing concerns about environmental health risks in educational settings and seeks to identify key IAQ predictors of SBS symptoms. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 205 students at a Malaysian public university. An online questionnaire adapted from the Indoor Air Quality Industry Code of Practice (ICOP-IAQ) 2010 was used to assess SBS symptoms. Simultaneously, IAQ monitoring was carried out in selected lecture halls (LHs) and tutorial rooms (TRs) using calibrated instruments to measure PM
