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
Introduction: With the advancement of Smart Urban Rail construction, the electromagnetic environment has become increasingly complex inside metro tunnels. Track-side inspectors may experience occupational radio-frequency (RF) exposure when conducting professional inspections in such a closed electromagnetic environment. Methods: In order to analyze the occupational electromagnetic exposure dose absorbed by the track-side inspectors,and explore a method to reduce the influence of RF electromagnetic radiation. We propose a compact metasurface track-side passenger information system (PIS) antenna at first, and verify its good radiation performance. Then we compare the electromagnetic exposure metrics in the track-side inspectors human model when they are exposed to the conventional track-side PIS antenna and the proposed track-side PIS antenna at 5.8 GHz. Results: The simulation results show that, the peak local specific absorption rate (SAR) is reduced by at least 39.83% in the trunk, skull, brain, heart, liver, and testes after the antenna is miniaturized by 53%. Discussion: The findings indicate that the proposed track-side PIS antenna can reduce the external radiation energy, thereby reducing its impact on the surrounding environment. This research provides a theoretical analysis for occupational RF exposure safety of track-side inspectors and offers a dosimetry reference for antenna design in metro tunnel communication systems.
