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

Nano-organic carbon (NOC: 1-6 nm) particles are emitted during combustion processes and remain understudied down to their smallest sizes in indoor environments. We investigate the persistence of atmospheric nanoparticles in the NOC size range indoors during scented candle combustion in a residential test house. Our results indicate that atmospheric nanoparticles in the 1-6 nm size range dominate indoor particle concentrations, constituting up to ∼65% of total particles. The fate of these nanoparticles in indoor air is mainly governed by their apparent emission rates and the coagulation scavenging potential of the indoor atmosphere, parametrized through the net coagulation sink and aerosol Fuchs surface area. To better characterize this, we introduce a dimensionless parameter (
