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

Estimates of annual per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) emissions from landfill gas (LFG) using data from a nationwide sampling campaign have not been reported. The objective of this study was to characterize volatile PFAS in LFG and to estimate the annual mass of volatile PFAS released from US landfills. LFG samples were collected from 30 landfills in 17 states represented by different annual precipitation regions. PFAS concentrations varied by orders of magnitude, with a median concentration of 19,000
