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

The focus of this review is to provide an overview of the nomenclature, structure, and properties of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that dictate the selection of analytical methods for analyzing PFAS in treated semiconductor wastewater. The review is organized by introducing the fundamental concepts of how structure dictates the physical-chemical properties of PFAS and how these properties determine the suitability and applicability of standardized analytical methods for individual PFAS as well as methods for total fluorine. Structures for PFAS measured in semiconductor wastewater or known to be in use by industry are given with tables intended as guidance for method selection. This review includes current guidance on sample collection, storage, and handling along with a comparison of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and American Society for Testing and Materials analytical methods for target PFAS as well as methods for ultrashort PFAS. Methods are reviewed for volatile PFAS in wastewater as well as workflows for suspect and nontarget nonvolatile and volatile PFAS. Nonspecific methods for PFAS including the total oxidizable precursor assay, total fluorine analyses, and extractable and adsorbable organic fluorine assays are reviewed. Alternative detectors for total fluorine are reviewed along with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and sensors for online wastewater monitoring.
