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 registryThe 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.

6 · The paper itselfAbstract
Radon is a natural radioactive gas well-known for its carcinogenic effects. The association between radon and lung cancer is well-documented, with radon exposure the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and the second leading cause of lung cancer in smokers in adults. However, relatively little is known about the association between radon and non-cancer respiratory disease. This review examines the role of radon's non-cancer pulmonary health effects in children, as there have been several recent studies highlighting a potentially under-recognized threat to lung health. Recent epidemiologic data in adults suggest radon and particle radioactivity attributable to radon decay products are associated with reduced pulmonary function and non-cancer related COPD morbidity and mortality, while in pediatrics, modeled radon has been reported to be associated with asthma morbidity. Recent findings of radon's non-cancer respiratory effects further highlight the role of avoidance of this environmental exposure and radon mitigation
