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

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in indoor dust pose significant health risks due to their persistence and carcinogenicity. This study comprehensively evaluates PAH concentrations, spatial distribution, sources and particle size distribution in indoor dust collected across 26 Chinese provinces. Each dust sample was fractionated into six fractions: F1 (1000-2000 μm), F2 (500-1000 μm), F3 (250-500 μm), F4 (125-250 μm), F5 (63-125 μm), F6 (<63 μm). The total concentration of the 17 PAHs (∑
