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

Ensuring a healthy indoor environment for children is crucial, as they are particularly vulnerable to environmental hazards. Indoor radon exposure is a significant concern due to its carcinogenic effects. This study assessed radon concentrations in primary schools and kindergartens in Kermanshah, Iran, estimated the annual effective dose, and evaluated potential health risks. This cross-sectional study randomly selected 24 primary schools and kindergartens across Kermanshah. Radon concentrations were measured seasonally using a radon meter (SARAD, RTM1688). Air samples were collected at breathing height and at least 40 cm from walls. Building characteristics were recorded using a checklist, and meteorological parameters were measured during sampling. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25. The average annual radon concentration was 37.1 ± 6.1 Bq/m
