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

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and other per and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are emerging environmental contaminants of concern. Incineration is a common method of PFAS destruction and disposal, but due to the strength and stability of C-F chemical bonds, the process is poorly understood. In the present work, we demonstrate that destruction of PFOA in a pilot-scale incinerator leads to a mixture of smaller perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs). We use chemical ionization mass spectrometry to measure the concentration of PFCAs ranging from C
