PFAS release from wastewater residuals as a function of composition and production practices.
Article in Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of highly persistent contaminants that have been linked to human health effects at low exposure concentrations. Public concerns exist that land-application of biosolids may result in the release of PFAS into terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The relative importance of inorganic constituents such as Fe and Al, which are known to impact PFAS retention/release behavior in soils, on PFAS release from wastewater residuals (WWRs, i.e., biosolids and sewage sludges) is not well understood. Here, we examine native concentrations and WWR-water partition coefficients of a range of PFAS in the context of WWRs characteristics including oxalate-extractable Fe and Al, organic matter (OM), dissolved organic carbon, and total protein content. Total PFAS concentrations, which included perfluoroalkyl carboxylates, perfluoroalkyl sulfonates, fluorotelomer sulfonates and some sulfonamides, ranged from ∼480 to 3500 μg PFAS kg
