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

rationaleDetermining several isotope ratios in one analysis multiplies the information that can be retrieved from a sample in a cost-efficient way. The stable isotope ratios of hydrogen (δ

methodsHere, we present a method that enables the isotopic analyses of the three elements H, C, and O in one run and is applicable to different types of carbohydrates and bulk organic matter. We discuss all steps required from water vapor equilibration necessary for obtaining reliable δ

resultsWe show that reliable triple isotope analysis is possible for a large range of samples, although it results in some reduction of precision compared to individual isotope analysis. Important considerations are the equilibration procedure, the type of autosampler, selection of HTC reactor, the influence of nitrogen in the sample, the verification of δ

conclusionsBy presenting a relatively simple triple-isotope method, we promote the use of multi-isotope studies in environmental sciences, which helps in addressing many important climate and ecological research challenges that we face today.
