Determination of Selected Hydroxylated PAHs in Urine Samples of Individuals Consuming Grilled Marshmallows.

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.
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
Marshmallows are confectioneries that are popular among children and teenagers around the world. Barbecues and the consumption of grilled marshmallows, especially by children, have become fashionable in many countries. Grilled marshmallows may contain carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Hydroxy-PAHs (OH-PAHs) concentration in the urine of volunteers after the consumption of grilled marshmallows, as biomarkers of exposure to PAHs, have been determined. A total of 24 participants consumed marshmallows grilled under similar conditions. Urine samples were collected before and after the consumption of grilled marshmallows. 1-hydroxypyrene and 9-hydroxyphenanthrene concentrations in urine samples were determined using the HPLC-FLD technique after enzymatic hydrolysis and isolation by solid-phase extraction (SPE). The average concentration of 1-hydroxypyrene was 0.21 ± 0.16 µg/g creatinine and of 9-hydroxypenanthrene was 2.78 ± 2.55 µg/g creatinine. The concentrations of OH-PAHs in the urine of volunteers eating colored grilled marshmallows were higher compared to the consumption of white ones. In the case of 9-hydroxyphenanthrene this difference was statistically significant
