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

There is a growing interest in the development of reliable analytical methods for characterizing tire and road wear particles (TRWP). The current research extends the use of single particle analysis techniques to various experimental biota samples. TRWP and cryogenically milled tire tread (CMTT) were identified using a weight of evidence framework including density separation, optical microscopy, and chemical mapping (scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy). Our techniques successfully identified CMTT particles in laboratory earthworms exposed to soil spiked with CMTT. A river biota sample (bivalves) collected from the Seine with no detectable TRWP was spiked with road dust containing TRWP. Particle identification was performed after a biota digestion protocol and density separation of particles > 1.5 g/cm
