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

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been classified as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) as well as endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs). This study determined the concentrations of six PBDE congeners (BDE 47, BDE 99, BDE 100, BDE 153, BDE 154, and BDE 183) in water and sediment samples from open city drains, in the Makurdi Metropolitan Area, North Central Nigeria, using gas chromatogragh-mass spectrometer. These congeners are components of the penta- and octa-BDE formulations that have been banned by the European Union. The samples were collected from the drains, bi-monthly, for 1 year across dry and wet seasons. All the congeners considered were found to be present in both water and sediment. The levels of Σ
