Specific Detection of BTEX Contamination in Water Using a π-Hole-Catching Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor.
Article in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) are volatile organic compounds that can contaminate groundwater resources, attracting significant attention due to their toxicity for human health and environment, and requiring the deployment of groundwater monitoring strategies. In this study, we demonstrate the selective detection of BTEX using a surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor coated with a polymer specifically designed to selectively interact with BTEX molecules. Since BTEX molecules can engage in π-hole interactions, we designed a polymer incorporating perfluorophenyl groups, to promote π-hole interactions. We then show that these π-hole interactions lead to excellent specificity of detecting BTEX contamination in water sources over MTBE and ETBE interfering compounds. This novel approach holds promise for advancing the accurate identification of BTEX pollutants, addressing critical concerns in water quality assessment and management.
