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

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of emerging chemical pollutants that pose severe health challenges and toxicity to people and aquatic organisms exposed to these pollutants. This study sought to assess the types and levels of PAHs and their eco-toxicity indices in surface waters of Narok and Bomet counties of Kenya, which have witnessed an increase in charcoal-burning activities and vehicular emissions near water bodies. Sampling was done in eight regions of the two counties based on their proximity to PAH sources. Extraction of the water samples was done via a solid-phase mmethod. Seven US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) priority PAHs were detected. The concentrations of these PAHs varied from below the limits of detection up to 31.42 µg l
