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

An electric field mill (EFM-100) short-range sensor has been installed on the rooftop of the six story building of Kathmandu BernHardt College, Tribhuvan University (TU), Bafal, Kathmandu for continuous monitoring of lightning events within a 38 km in aerial distance. It constantly monitors lightning activities and activates graphical display alerts on a connected computer. The EFM-100 monitor software displays a real time graph of the atmospheric electrical field, as well as the distance of lightning strikes within the specified range. Lightning strikes were recorded over a 3-month period, spanning 57 days, primarily during the both premonsoon and monsoon seasons, from May 19 to August 18, 2024. In addition, the effect of lightning events on atmospheric pollutants such as PM
