Health Effects of Shooting and Blasting Exercise: A Short-Term Longitudinal Study.
Article in Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 2026. 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
objectiveRespiratory complaints during indoor training among elite professional soldiers.
methodsDuring a 4-hour period (3 × 15 minutes), 18 male healthy nonsmoking Whites practiced enemy neutralization and building security. At each session, 65-246 blanks and dummy hand grenades were used, and there was no respiratory protection. Each soldier underwent blood sampling and spirometry testing before and after the training session and monitored own exposure.
resultsThe mean (range) exposure of total dust was 18.1 (6.0-25.5) mg/m 3 ; Cu, 17.4 (9.4-28.4) μg/m 3 ; and Zn, 165.1 (63.4-328.7) μg/m 3 . Mean (95% CI) postvalues for forced expiratory volume after 1 second and forced vital capacity were -130 mL (-180; -80) and -120 mL (-170; -70) lower than the corresponding prevalues. Blood concentration of neutrophils increased from 48% to 57%.
conclusionRespiratory protection equipment is recommended in future indoor training sessions.
