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

Organosulfates (OSs) have been widely detected in marine aerosols and have various potential formation pathways in the atmosphere. However, the key formation mechanism of OSs in the marine environment remains unclear. Here, by combining field measurements, laboratory experiments, and model calculations, we suggest that the surface spontaneous oxidation of sea spray aerosol (SSA) particles produces OSs rapidly and is the dominant formation pathway of OSs in the marine atmosphere. SSA microdroplets provide a large surface area for the spontaneous formation of OH radicals, inducing the oxidization of dimethyl sulfide into sulfate (SO
