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

Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) and the aldehydes formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are toxic organic compounds. Currently, there is no single method for sampling and analyzing these compounds in environment air concurrently. We report here a microfabricated dual-compartment micropreconcentrator device that combines physical adsorption of BTEX with derivatization of aldehydes for analysis of all these compounds by GC-MS in a single run. The micropreconcentrator contains two compartments to accommodate two different sorbents. One compartment is packed with Carbopack X to trap BTEX and the other is filled with silica gel particles coated with O-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine (PFBHA) to capture aldehydes via oximation. The captured compounds in the micropreconcentrator then are eluted with solvents and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The dual-compartment micropreconcentrator captures above 90 % of both BTEX and the above aldehydes. The limits of detection (LOD) for these compounds were determined in the range of 0.03-1.2 μg/m
