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

Plants are considered "nature-based solutions" for the improvement of air quality. Through the so-called forest filter effect (FFE), they can remove both gas and particulate matter (PM) associated organic contaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from air, reducing their concentrations. In this work, new aspects of FFE were investigated through several laboratory experiments of increasing complexity. More specifically, the study was designed to evaluate for the first time the contribution of light and phyllosphere microbial communities of
