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

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are potent greenhouse gases whose global abundance continues to rise and subsequently warm the Earth. Southern China is a rapidly developing region that has experienced a sharp increase in its HFC consumption. Here, we present the first high-frequency HFC observations in Southern China from 2022 to 2023, analyzing the atmospheric mole fractions of four HFCs (HFC-134a, HFC-32, HFC-125, and HFC-143a) and using inverse modeling to estimate their emissions in Southern China. We find that HFC emissions in Southern China are primarily concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, with Jiangsu having the highest HFC-134a emissions (4.1 ± 0.5 Gg yr
