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

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation plays a critical role in both beneficial and harmful health outcomes, such as vitamin D synthesis or skin erythema. Accurate quantification of UV exposure relevant to health outcomes is essential in epidemiological and clinical research. We present UVdose, an R package designed to estimate biologically relevant UV doses, including vitamin D-effective UVB and erythemal UV, using the gridded UV products from the Thematic Emission Monitoring Integrated Services (TEMIS) database. The package provides user-friendly tools for integrating environmental UV exposure data, enabling reproducible and scalable analyses in population health and clinical studies.
