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

The study determines the textural characteristics and geochemical composition of the transgressive mud coastal marine sediments of the Bight of Benin, Nigeria. The sediment samples were collected using a VanVeen grab sampler from three onshore and three offshore locations. The particle size analysis was conducted with a combination of the pipette sampling and wet sieving of the fraction > 62-µm method, while the concentrations of major oxides were determined by employing X-ray fluorescence technique. The onshore and offshore sediment samples were composed of 54% silt and 30% sand (sandy silt) and 45% sand and 31% clay (clayey sand), respectively. The sequence of concentrations of major oxides was SiO
