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

Halogenated natural products (HNPs) are a diverse group of organohalogen compounds, predominantly found in the marine environment. Selected HNPs show structural similarity to persistent organic pollutants (POPs), but data on their occurrence is limited. An analytical method for the detection of 17 commonly reported HNPs, as well as selected POPs, using gas chromatography with electron-capture negative ionisation mass spectrometry (GC/ECNI-MS) was established and validated for salmon and blue mussel. The validation confirmed the applicability of the method with recovery rates and inter-day coefficients of variations of 52-101% and 3.7-16%, respectively. The subsequent application of the method to 17 samples of frequently consumed seafood products from the German retail market demonstrated its suitability for a wide variety of matrices. HNPs were detected in all analysed samples, with contents ranging from <0.05 to up to 7000 ng/g lipid weight (lw). Highest median values were found for mixed-halogenated compound 1 (MHC-1), 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (2,4,6-TBA), and the heptachlorinated bipyrrole Q1 (19, 6.0, and 3.4 ng/g lw, respectively). In 14 out of 17 analysed samples, the sum of HNPs was in the same concentration range or exceeded the sum of the investigated POPs, indicating the relevant exposure of consumers of seafood products in Germany to HNPs and emphasising the relevance of HNPs as organohalogen compounds in seafood samples.
