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

Phthalic acid esters (PAEs), a class of synthetic semi-volatile organic compounds, are extensively incorporated into decorative materials. However, their specific occurrence, migration behaviors, and environmental impact on these materials-which comprise the largest surface areas in residential settings-remain insufficiently understood. This study investigated the distribution, emission dynamics, and environmental burdens of PAEs in flooring commonly used in Chinese households. The results showed that PAEs are widespread in flooring, with total concentrations ranging from 1220 to 166,000 ng/g (14,100 ng/g, median value). Solid wood flooring (55,900 ng/g) exhibited significantly higher PAE levels compared to engineered flooring (22,600 ng/g) and laminate flooring (4000 ng/g) (
