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

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, and is a concern for indoor air quality. Despite the widespread availability of free or low-cost tests, many people have not tested their homes for radon. This manuscript summarizes a qualitative study, conducted via focus groups and interviews with community members and professionals, to understand the barriers and facilitators that impact home radon testing. Following the Health Belief Model, the findings of this study suggest that interventions to facilitate home radon testing may benefit from a collaborative effort involving health, real estate, regulatory, and environmental sectors.
