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

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous, recalcitrant, bioaccumulative, and toxic. Effective concentration technologies are essential for remediating these compounds, a major focus of environmental science and engineering today. This review provides a comprehensive overview of PFAS, from fundamental chemistry to current research, encompassing fluorine chemistry, PFAS synthesis, and their applications. The review specifically thoroughly examines how fluorine chemistry can be utilized to enhance PFAS removal and enrichment, highlighting examples of aromatic/direct fluorination and aliphatic per- and polyfluorination, where the latter induces the fluorous effect. A comprehensive list of reactions used to design or modify PFAS sorbents is summarized, serving as a resource for ongoing research. Finally, insights are offered into how fluorine chemistry can be studied and employed to further improve PFAS characterization and management.
