Photosensitized Decay of Levoglucosan in Biomass Burning Aerosol Particles.
Article in Environmental science & technology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Biomass burning (BB) is increasingly relevant to air quality as global warming intensifies wildfire activity. Levoglucosan (LEVO) is a widely used tracer for BB, but its oxidative decay is still less understood. While gas-phase hydroxyl radicals (•OH) have been considered the primary oxidants for LEVO decay in biomass burning organic aerosol (BBOA) particles, high particulate viscosity at low relative humidity (RH) limits •OH uptake. In this study, we demonstrate a less recognized pathway that leads to LEVO degradation in BBOA particles under light, which is primarily driven by triplet excited states (
