A comprehensive review of radon concentrations and annual effective dose amongst workers in copper mines.
Review in Radiation protection dosimetry, 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
Radon, a carcinogen for lung cancer is chemically inert, colourless, odourless, and a radioactive gas that originates from uranium and thorium radioelements. This review article presents radon concentrations and annual effective dose (Ey) amongst workers in copper mines, as well as examining factors influencing radon levels. Findings indicate varying radon concentration levels ranging from acceptable values to those exceeding the occupational exposure limit of 1000 Bq.m-3. For instance, mean radon concentrations ranged from 6.6 Bq.m-3 to 2400 Bq.m-3 under mechanical ventilation, increasing by a factor of eight under nonmechanical ventilation. Similarly, Ey values ranged from 0.80 mSv.y-1 to above the 20 mSv.y-1 threshold, reaching as high as 34 mSv.y-1. Ventilation emerged as the prominent factor influencing radon concentration, alongside temperature, seasonal changes, and mining activities. The study recommends adequate ventilation and routine radon monitoring to improve air quality and protect workers.
