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

A simple and highly sensitive method, combining slippery liquid-infused porous substrates and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SLIPSERS) was used to detect biological pollutants at very low concentrations. Two commonly used rodenticides (brodifacoum and sodium monofluoroacetate) with long biological half-lives were selected as analytes. The SLIPSERS platform gives reproducible SERS enhancement and this allows "label-free" SERS detection of these environmental pollutants. Analyte ions were detected down to a concentration of 10
