A Systematic Review of Building Fire Safety Practices in the UK: Approaches, Challenges and Recommendations.
Review in Fire technology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The catastrophic effect of fire incidents such as loss of lives, damage to building structures and economic loss, underscore the need for efficient fire safety in buildings, which has been a major subject of discussion in the UK. In this study, a comprehensive review of literature pertinent to building fire safety in the UK is presented. The study adopts systematic review approach, collected data from Scopus and analysed 51 qualified articles quantitively and qualitatively. The review shows a rise in publication since 2004, revealing prominent authors and keywords in building fire safety research. The review further identified the categories of fire safety practices in the UK, including technological innovations, mitigation, behavioural, and regulatory measures. Notable findings reveal the challenges in current practices including compliance and enforcement issues, maintenance of fire safety systems, public awareness and behavioural issues, technological adoption and integration challenges, and infrastructure and building design challenges. To address the challenges identified, proposed recommendations include fire safety training, simplifying and unifying regulations, maintenance and inspection of fire safety systems, fostering and upholding public trust, enhancing public awareness, integration of advanced technologies, and formulation of fire safety strategies. Additionally. the study further recommends more comparative research on international fire safety practices and social factors influence on fire regulations to effectively enhance fire safety practices in the UK.
