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

Volatile chemical products (VCPs), including organic species emitted from pesticides, coatings, cleaning products, and personal care products, account for more than half of the urban VOC emissions in major North American and European cities. However, VCP emissions, spatial and temporal distributions, and impacts vary widely. Despite being the fourth largest U.S. city, Houston, Texas, lacks measured VCP concentration and emission data. This study presents the first spatial and temporal measurements of selected VCP tracers in Houston, Texas, using a Vocus 2R Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer on a mobile platform. Ambient measurements of five major VCP tracers, including D5-siloxane, monoterpenes,
