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

rationaleThe stable isotope compositions of atmospheric CO

methodsAir samples of ~150 mL were collected individually or collectively using our simple active air collection system and then extracted on a vacuum purification line to remove noncondensable gases and atmospheric water vapor. The efficiency of removing atmospheric water vapor was tested by using a magnesium perchlorate desiccant trap and a dry ice/ethanol trap. Lastly, a "J-Cut tube sealing/cracking method" was developed to store and transfer purified atmospheric CO

resultsThe collective active air collection method combined with the full sample air extraction method for a 3-min transfer time or "Full 3m TE" yields the best analytical precision of 0.07‰ (δ

conclusionsA simple and cost-effect method was developed for the collection, purification, storage, and isotopic analysis of indoor/outdoor atmospheric CO
