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

The reactivity of organic pollutants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environmental condensed phases depends strongly on matrix composition. Pollutants such as PAHs are often associated with atmospheric aerosols, so an understanding of the effects of changing aerosol composition is required to accurately predict their environmental chemical fate. We have measured the photodegradation kinetics of the PAH anthracene in aqueous solutions containing sodium or potassium chloride (NaCl or KCl) at chloride concentrations greater than those observed in seawater (0.56 M) but relevant to environmental matrices such as atmospheric aerosols, industrial brines, and saline wastewater. At concentrations greater than 0.56 M but below the saturation limit (4.6 M for KCl, 6.1 M for NaCl), the rate constant did not depend on Cl
