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

High-precision determination of inorganic nutrients (i.e., nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, and silicate) in seawater is paramount for understanding variations in marine biogeochemical cycles. Historically, the lack of consistency between nutrient data sets has been the Achilles' heel for large-scale oceanographic studies and the regular use of certified reference materials (CRMs) was identified as a solution to improve data quality. In this study, the preparation and certification of NRC MOOS-4 nearshore seawater CRM for nutrients are presented. The discussion is focused on the optimization of the analytical methods that were developed in decade-long research. On the one hand, the classical spectrophotometric methods were studied with attention to potential systematic biases not normally considered in routine analysis. On the other hand, higher-order (isotope dilution) methods with better performance characteristics were developed for accurate quantitation of nitrite, nitrate, and silicate. This rigorous method development work resulted in exceptional agreement between nutrient data obtained by traditional and modern analytical methodologies and allowed improvement of measurement uncertainties with respect to previous MOOS-3 CRM. As a result, MOOS-4 could be certified with expanded (k = 2) uncertainties between 0.8% and 2.6%, consistent with the requirements of the oceanographic community (i.e., c(NO
