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

Copper (Cu) metal and alloys are used in cookware and other food contact surfaces due to their desirable properties for various applications. However, Cu metal can ionise and subsequently transfer to food and beverages under certain conditions. Here, we tested how pH and temperature affected Cu release kinetics using model systems utilising Cu metal foil and commercially available copperware. Cu foil and copperware were exposed to food simulants composed of 3% (w:w) aqueous solutions of citric acid, malic acid, acetic acid, or deionised (DI) water at temperatures ranging from 4°C to 60°C. An additional pilot experiment tested how simulated long-term cleaning affected subsequent Cu release from lined and unlined copperware to 3% citric acid. Food simulants were then analysed by ICP-MS for total Cu. After 180 min, incubation of Cu metal foil with acid-containing food simulants at 4°C resulted in Cu release ranging from 8.7 - 14.0 µg cm
