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

Stable carbon isotope ratio measurements are used to investigate the provenance of vanillin. In this study, a variety of commercial vanillin samples and vanilla products were analyzed to provide a frame of reference for the variability of carbon isotope delta values in various vanillin samples, with the results ranging from -20.6 to -36.7‰ relative to the Vienna Peedee Belemnite (VPDB). We present information on the development of two synthetic vanillin reference materials, VANA-1 and VANB-1, prepared in 0.75 g units in glass vials, to be used for the calibration of carbon isotope delta measurements of vanillin and other easily combustible organic materials. Characterization of 40 vials each of VANA-1 and VANB-1 was performed by three laboratories over several measurement sequences. The certified carbon isotope delta values are -31.30 ± 0.06‰ (VANA-1) and -25.85 ± 0.05‰ (VANB-1). These uncertainties, for the 95% confidence level, include considerations for measurement uncertainty, coherence of the reference materials used for calibration, batch homogeneity, and stability during storage and transportation. The results are traceable to the VPDB through a set of nine reference materials (IAEA-CH-6, USGS65, IAEA-600, NBS22, USGS61, IAEA-603, IAEA-610, IAEA-611, and IAEA-612). For up to date certified values, users should refer to doi.org/10.4224/crm.2022.vana-1 and doi.org/10.4224/crm.2022.vanb-1.
