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

When high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used for the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in complex samples, further examination of HPLC fractions is recommended to confirm PAH assignments solely based on retention times. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been particularly relevant in the unambiguous determination of PAHs with remarkably similar retention times. The combination of HPLC and GC requires lengthy analysis times to ensure proper assignments. This article presents an approach for the analysis of co-eluted PAHs with no need for further chromatographic separation. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DBalP) were directly determined in a co-eluted HPLC fraction via room-temperature fluorescence excitation-emission matrices (RTF-EEMs). RTF-EEMs can be recorded in a matter of seconds with a spectrofluorometer equipped with a multichannel detection system. The spectral overlapping of BaP and DBalP was resolved using parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC). The analytical advantages of this approach were demonstrated with the trace analysis (ng/mL) of these two PAHs in pre-concentrated tobacco extracts.
