Global emissions of polychlorinated naphthalenes from 1912 to 2050.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) are persistent organic compounds that are regulated by the Stockholm Convention. Here, we estimate historical emissions from PCN production and use (1912-1987) and unintentional emissions from 20 categories (2000-2020). A random forest regression model projects emissions for 2020-2050. A global high-resolution 1 km × 1 km PCN emissions inventory is developed for 2020. The results show that 468,014 t of PCNs were emitted from historical production, with 96.6% of emissions occurring during product use, the majority of cumulative PCN emissions (99.4%) entering the atmosphere. Total unintentional emissions from 2000-2020 are 11,534 t. Global emissions of PCNs are 293.5 t (15.8 kg TEQ) in 2020, with municipal waste incineration as the major source (98.0%) and West Central Asia being the major emission region. Future PCN emissions may experience fluctuations, with projected changes ranging from a decrease of 29% to an increase of 347%.
