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

Exposure to and consequent bioaccumulation of toxic hydrocarbons, particularly polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are a significant concern for ocean health. This study reports the distribution of parental and alkylated PAHs in the liver and muscle tissues of sea turtles found stranded on locations in the NE coast affected by the largest oil spill in Brazil, which occurred in 2019. The field trips recovered nineteen animals along the shores of Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, and Ceará between 2020 and 2021. Chelonia mydas represented 79% of all specimens. PAH determination in liver and muscle tissues involves extraction using a Soxhlet apparatus, purification by permeation chromatography, and subsequent analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Twenty-six of 37 individual PAHs were identified, including parent and alkylated compounds, totaling 67.87 ± 54.22 ng g
