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

Agitation-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid extraction without a dispersing solvent is lately receiving considerable attention owing to the low to no solvent loss relative to its predecessor, which suffers severe extracting solvent loss. Herein, we report the application of a simple agitation-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method, without a disperser solvent, for the extraction of naphthalene and its derivatives from aqueous solutions. Under the optimised conditions, namely, 25 μL 3:1 mixture of dichloroethane and ethylacetate with 20 s agitation, in 2-mL aqueous solutions containing 10% NaCl, the method demonstrated acceptable figures of merit: linearity-R
