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

Unknown chemical releases constitute a large portion of the rapid response situations to which the US Environmental Protection Agency is called on to respond. Workflows used to address unknown chemical releases currently involve screening for a large array of known compounds using many different targeted methods. When matches are not found, expert analytical chemistry knowledge is used to propose possible candidates from the available data, which generally includes low-resolution mass spectra and situational clues such as the location of the release, nearby industrial operations, and other field-reported facts. The past decade has witnessed dramatic improvements in capabilities for identifying unknown compounds using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and nontargeted analysis (NTA) approaches. Complementary developments in cheminformatics tools have further enabled an increase in NTA throughput and identification confidence. Together with the expanding availability of HRMS instrumentation in monitoring laboratories, these advancements make NTA highly relevant to rapid response scenarios. In this article, we introduce the concept of NTA as it relates to rapid response needs and describe how it can be applied to address unknown chemical releases. We advocate for the consideration of HRMS-based NTA approaches to support future rapid response scenarios. Environ Toxicol Chem 2022;41:1117-1130. Published 2021. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA.
