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

Sodium pentachlorophenate (PCP-Na) is a toxic preservative used in wood products, posing potential health risks through food contact materials. A rapid analytical method combining ultrasonic-assisted liquid-liquid extraction with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UA-LLE-UPLC-HRMS) was developed for the determination of PCP-Na residues in bamboo and wooden cutting boards. Sample pretreatment involved ultrasonic extraction using methanol/water (50:50 v/v, 2.0% ammonia), followed by liquid-liquid purification with n-hexane/ethyl acetate (60:40 v/v). After solvent evaporation under nitrogen, the residue was reconstituted in the initial mobile phase. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.7 µm) using a gradient elution of methanol and 0.01% ammoniated aqueous solution. Detection was performed in negative electrospray ionization (ESI-) mode with targeted single ion monitoring (Targeted-SIM) scanning, utilizing pentachlorophenol-13C6 (PCP-13C6) as an isotopically labeled internal standard. The method exhibited excellent linearity across a concentration range of 1.0-500.0 μg/L (R2 ≥ 0.999), with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.5 μg/kg and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 1.5 μg/kg. Validation studies at three spiking levels (20.0, 200.0, and 400.0 μg/kg) demonstrated satisfactory recoveries of 97.2%-99.7% and precision with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 0.8%-1.7% (n = 6). The total chromatographic runtime was optimized to 6 minutes. Application of this method to Seventy-five commercial cutting boards revealed PCP-Na residues in five samples, with concentrations ranging from 1.3 to 416 mg/kg. This approach features streamlined sample preparation, high sensitivity, robust accuracy, and rapid analysis, making it particularly suitable for routine monitoring of PCP-Na residues in bamboo and wooden food contact materials.
