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

Soil pollution poses a serious threat to terrestrial ecosystems and human health, yet studies often focus on a handful of pollutant classes per study. Wide-scope methodologies are necessary to account for the complexity and diversity of the soil matrix and the organic micropollutant mixture of both known and novel compounds it may contain. Thus, to facilitate comprehensive monitoring of the organic micropollutant burden in soil with gas chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS), three wide-scope methods were developed and compared: modified QuEChERS (mQuEChERS), Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE), and Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction (UAE). Comparison of the three methods and the final choice of the modified QuEChERS were achieved via an examination of the performance characteristics, such as the number of analytes detected, recoveries, matrix effect, and precision, through a smart validation scheme that encompassed 38 analytes belonging to diverse pollutant classes. The mQuEChERS method was then fully validated for the simultaneous quantification of 75 analytes, including pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs), and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). The method's limits of detection (MLOD) ranged from 0.04 to 2.77 μg kg
