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

Most airline passengers and crew assume that the air in the cabin is free from harmful or hazardous substances, as is mandated by airworthiness regulations. While fresh air entering the cabin is sterile (and if recirculated is usually efficiently filtered to remove microorganisms), if the fresh air is bled off the turbine compressors (as is the case in about 95% of airliners currently in service), it may be contaminated with traces of engine oil and ultrafine particles abraded from the turbine blades, and possibly traces of hydraulic fluid leaking from servo systems. Engine oil contains tricresyl phosphate (TCP) as an essential antiwear agent, but it is also a well-known neurotoxin, and it has been suggested that there may be no safe lower limit of exposure, not least because of considerable variation among individuals in sensitivity to tri-
