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

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of persistent organic pollutants that are widely present in various environmental media such as air, soil, and water. They are highly environmentally stable and are mainly derived from combustion processes and industrial emissions. Although numerous studies have shown that PAHs are carcinogenic, mutagenic, and neurotoxic, their exposure levels and associated health risks in specific populations require further study. Children and adolescents are in a critical stage of growth and development, with immature physiological and immune systems, making them more sensitive to PAHs than adults. Hence, their internal exposure levels to PAHs and the associated health risks warrant particular attention. However, most of the existing studies have focused on adults, and there are relatively few studies on PAHs exposure in children and adolescents. Therefore, a total of 1 096 children and adolescents aged 6-18 years in a city located in western China were investigated. The concentrations of 12 PAHs in serum samples were simultaneously determined by solid-phase extraction coupled with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-GC-MS/MS), and the effects of demographic characteristics, lifestyles, socioeconomic factors, and dietary habits on the concentrations of PAHs in serum were investigated using multiple linear regression models. The total estimated daily intake (TEDI) of PAHs was calculated based on their serum concentrations, and the hazard quotient (HQ) was derived using the reference dose (RfD) to evaluate non-carcinogenic health risk. Meanwhile, carcinogenic risk was evaluated based on the benzo[
