Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) profiles in primary and secondary landfill leachates: Indications of transformation, liner interactions, and other PFAS sources.
Article in Journal of hazardous materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a growing concern due to their persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and continued widespread use in consumer products. PFAS disposed of in landfills are emitted to the environment via leachate, which drives a need to better understand PFAS behavior in landfills and landfill liner systems. This study examines PFAS concentrations in primary and secondary leachate from three municipal solid waste landfills utilizing double HDPE geomembrane liner systems. Samples were also analyzed for physical-chemical constituents such as chloride, ammonia, chemical oxygen demand, and metals. On average, physical-chemical parameter concentrations were significantly lower in the secondary compared to the primary leachate, although PFAS concentrations were not significantly different between leachate sources. Concentrations of chloride in groundwater and primary leachate were used to calculate expected PFAS concentrations in the secondary leachate. PFAS concentrations in secondary leachate were often higher than expected, with PFAAs more likely to exceed expected levels. Of the 92 PFAS analyzed, 50 were quantified in primary leachates and 48 in secondary leachates. The ∑PFAS concentrations in primary leachate ranged from 3200-81,000 ngL
