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

Fireworks are widely used at festive events worldwide and are commonly employed at indoor wedding ceremonies in Türkiye; however, their impact on indoor air quality has not been adequately investigated. This study examines particulate matter (PM) emissions generated by volcano-type fireworks used in indoor wedding halls. Particle samples were collected across five size fractions (>2.5, 1.0-2.5, 0.50-1.0, 0.25-0.50, and <0.25 µm) using a 5-stage Sioutas cascade impactor, and elemental compositions were determined by ICP-MS.
