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

The possibility of graphene oxide (GO) exposure to the environment has spurred several studies investigating the fate of this nanoparticle (NP). However, there is currently little or no data on the fate of GO in estuarine and marine waters. This study investigated the aggregation, sedimentation, and transformation of GO in saline waters, considering the roles of salinity (0-50 ‰), light (visible light and solar irradiation), and aging, among others. The attachment efficiency of GO reached unity at 1.33 ‰. The sedimentation rate of GO increased with salinity up to 10 ‰ after which it decreased due to formation of ramified GO agglomerates and media density. On the basis of the sedimentation rate determined at 30 ‰ (0.121 m/d), the residence time of GO agglomerates in the euphotic zone of typical open oceans will exceed 500 days. Aging in the presence of visible light increased the relative abundance of the GO's aromatic (C-C/C=C) fraction, reducing the NP. Reduction of GO in visible light was confirmed via UV-vis and Raman spectroscopic techniques. Reduction of GO was faster under solar irradiation. This study demonstrates that when introduced into saline waters, GO will undergo a range of transformations affecting its fate and potential effects to aquatic organisms.
