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
Introduction: In the frame of the RadoNorm project, within work package 5.4, an intercomparison of radon and radon progeny measurements was organized in the Historic Silver Mine in Tarnowskie Gory (Poland). The aim of this intercomparison campaign was to compare the results of different electronic monitors for measurement of radon and radon progeny concentration under field conditions of an underground workplace over 3 days of measurements. Methods: In total, nine laboratories from seven European countries participated in the intercomparison study contributing with sixteen continuous radon monitors, ten radon progeny continuous monitors, and one TLD-based integrating system for PAEC measurements. Results: Despite the short duration of the field campaign, the comparison of radon activity concentration measurements showed strong consistency across most instruments, although notable deviations were observed with three instruments. Radon equivalent equilibrium concentration measurements also demonstrated good agreement, with only one outlier among ten instruments. Comparison of short term averages of EEC (PAEC) obtained from continuous monitors and integral TLD based Alpha probes showed good agreement. Greater variability was observed in the results for unattached radon progeny. Discussion: This intercomparison also allowed of testing instrument's responses in extreme ambient conditions with high humidity and relatively low temperature that are at the edge of the instrument's operating conditions.
