Impact of scented candle use on indoor air quality and airborne microbiome.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Indoor air quality has become a growing concern worldwide due to its significant impact on human health, particularly in residential environments where people spend most of their time. Many studies have examined particulate matter (PM) in indoor air and indoor bioaerosols. However, there is a significant lack of research on airborne micro-sized bacteria (m-AB) and nano-sized bacterial extracellular vesicles (n-ABE), particularly those produced by common household activities, such as burning scented candles. This study investigates changes in PM concentrations and indoor microbiome composition resulting from candle use. Air samples were collected from three locations in residential homes: at the candle-lit spot (CL), 3 m away (3m_CL), and 6 m away (6m_CL). PM
