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

This study conducted age-specific and source-oriented health risk assessments of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at four measurement sites in Seoul (Gangseo (GS), Gwangjin (GJ), Bukhansan (BHS), and Jongno (JN)). By comparing source-specific concentration contributions with health risk-based contributions, priority sources and compounds were identified. The age-specific health risk assessment showed that, under the central tendency exposure (CTE) scenario, both the total excess cancer risk (TECR) and hazard index (HI) at all measurement sites remained below the recommended guideline values. However, under the reasonable maximum exposure (RME) scenario, TECR exceeded 1 × 10
