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

Open burn/open detonation (OB/OD) of hazardous waste poses serious environmental and public health risks. This community-engaged research study presents the first year-long, spatially resolved assessment of ambient air pollutant composition in Colfax, Louisiana - home to the last commercially operated OB/OD facility in the United States and situated in a rural and historically overburdened community. Until its permit changes took effect in December 2023, the facility processed military waste, fireworks, propellants, Superfund site soils, and other hazardous materials through OB/OD. These operations have long raised concerns among residents about air quality and associated health risks. To characterize pollutant distributions, we deployed two types of passive samplers and low-cost PurpleAir sensors to monitor PM
