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

This study investigates the concentrations and patterns of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs (TEQ Diox+PCB-DL) and non-dioxin-like PCBs (PCB-NDL) in eels from Lake Garda, assessing their relationship with biometric and lipid parameters. TEQ Diox+PCB-DL levels ranged from 1.70 to 77.1 pg/g (median: 9.90 pg/g), while PCB-NDL levels spanned from 14.0 to 1620 ng/g (median: 65.5 ng/g). Significant, albeit low, correlations were found: length and weight were negatively correlated, and lipid content was positively correlated, with both contaminants. Multivariable regression confirmed length and lipid percentage as significant predictors, although the models explained a limited proportion of variance (R
