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

This paper describes a dataset containing field measurement data from classrooms in Belgium. The dataset comprises of survey responses, indicating occupants' satisfaction with the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) (i.e., thermal, indoor air quality, visual, acoustic and overall IEQ conditions), measurements of the indoor environmental conditions in the classroom during heating and intermediate season, and contextual variables like occupant location in classroom. Data were collected in three educational case studies: three classrooms in a secondary school (Case 1), seven primary school classrooms (Case 2), and a university lecture room (Case 3). The full dataset consists of 6834 satisfaction assessments collected from 321 unique occupants in classrooms, merged with corresponding measurements of the classroom IEQ. The dataset benefits the research community since a longitudinal dataset of this size on occupants' satisfaction in classrooms is unavailable at this moment. The dataset can serve as a training or validation dataset for novel comfort models, a basis for statistical analyses to establish a causal model or to examine inter- and intra-individual differences in occupant satisfaction.
