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

Aerosol sampling stands as an essential step in air quality monitoring and characterization. Active sampling provides accurate aerosol determination, while passive sampling offers cost-effective and power supply-free design. However, passive sampling is subject to sampling conditions and brings about uncertainties concerning particle sizes and flow rates, and collection efficiencies, which requires calibration assisted by active samplings. In this work, we presented a polyimide (PI) aerogel-based passive sampler operating in a flow-through and active-sampling mode without artificial power supply, generating a gas flow rate in the range of mL min
