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

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emitted from aquatic systems are increasingly recognized for their influence on atmospheric chemistry. However, emissions from freshwater environments, specifically during harmful algal bloom (HAB) events, remain poorly quantified. These HAB events are increasing globally in frequency and intensity, driven by climate change, nutrient runoff, and land-use changes. This study investigates the water-to-air gas exchange rates of BVOCs from southwestern Pennsylvanian freshwater lakes during peak HAB conditions, with a focus on nitrogen-containing compounds that are typically underrepresented in atmospheric measurements. Using atmospheric pressure, hydronium chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS), we measured BVOC emissions from 18 lake samples in the laboratory, capturing real-time fluxes of 900 unique masses. Ammonia, pyrroline, and pyridine consistently exhibited the highest emission fluxes across samples. Alkylamines were less abundant, although they remain atmospherically important due to their role in new particle formation. These results represent the first reported real-time freshwater flux measurements of alkylamines, pyrroline, and pyridine, offering new insight into the atmospheric implications of HABs. Notably, no clear correlation was observed between BVOC fluxes and chlorophyll
