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

Ozone has been viewed as the principal oxidant of skin oils and other unsaturated surface films, but their fate under realistic indoor conditions remains poorly constrained. Here, we use squalene (SQ), a major component of skin lipids, to investigate the dominant oxidation pathways in occupied indoor environments and laboratory flow reactors. With exposure to indoor air, SQ decay and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation accelerated over time, consistent with autoxidation. Laboratory experiments with ozone alone drove first-order SQ loss and humidity-dependent emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In contrast, exposure to both ozone and
