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

At present, the glaciers in the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau (HTP) are retreating partly due to albedo reduction caused by deposited light-absorbing impurities such as mineral dust (MD) and black carbon (BC). Because BC also exists widely in MD from surface soil, it is necessary to further evaluate the contribution of BC from MD to the total BC at glacier region. This will help to improve the study of BC sources by considering the relative contributions from MD and direct combustion sources. Therefore, in this study, concentrations of total organic carbon (TOC) and fine particles of BC from 43 surface soil samples of the HTP were investigated. The contribution of BC from MD to total BC deposited at the glacier region was evaluated. The results showed strong correlations between TOC and BC of studied samples (R
