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

We present infrared absorption coefficients, cross sections, and band strengths calculated from reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) data of molecular ices deposited on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface at 28 K. We also describe an estimated conversion factor (encompassing considerations from the metal-surface selection rule and metal-surface enhancement factor for graphite) to explain how these parameters compare to those calculated using transmission infrared methods. Further, we discuss the limitations of this method and the assumptions which must be considered when evaluating absorption parameters from RAIRS data. The two species studied here (methyl acetate and methyl propanoate) were chosen to test these methods, as they are both astrochemically relevant and have previously been reported in the literature, providing a reliable benchmark.
