Indoor Radon Exposure Among Schoolchildren: A Systematic Review of Risk Factors.
Synthesis in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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 (222Rn) is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It is colourless, odourless, and tasteless, produced through the spontaneous decay of uranium in soil and rocks. Among school-aged children, exposure to radon is a major public health concern because, during school hours, learners spend an average of 6-8 h daily inside school buildings, often on the ground floor or in basement classrooms, where radon levels tend to be highest. This study aims to contextualize radon exposure among children in educational settings, with a focus on the associated risk factors. A systematic review of the literature on radon exposure in classrooms among schoolchildren was conducted, analysing associated risk factors and methods of radon measurement. A literature search was performed across reputable databases to ensure compliance with systematic review standards. The quality of the evidence was appraised using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) tool. A total of 32 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Radon levels measured in classrooms exhibit variability based on geographic location. Certain classrooms in Continental Europe and North America exceed the WHO reference limit of 100 Bq/m
