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

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) represents a large fraction of atmospheric aerosol particles that significantly affect both the Earth's climate and human health. Laboratory-generated SOA or ambient particles are routinely collected on filters for a detailed chemical analysis. Such filter sampling is prone to artifactual changes in composition during collection, storage, sample workup, and analysis. In this study, we investigate the chemical composition differences in SOA generated in the laboratory, kept at room temperature as aqueous extracts or on filters, and analyzed in detail after a storage time of a day and up to 4 weeks using liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. We observe significantly different temporal concentration changes for monomers and oligomers in both extracts and on filters. In SOA aqueous extracts, many monomers increase in concentration over time, while many dimers decay at the same time. In contrast, on filters, we observe a strong and persistent concentration increase of many dimers and a decrease of many monomers. This study highlights artifacts arising from SOA chemistry occurring during storage, which should be considered when detailed organic aerosol compositions are studied. The particle-phase reactions on filters can also serve as a model system for atmospheric particle aging processes.
