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

The continuous emergence of new pollutants poses significant threats to both human health and ecological environments. Nontarget analysis based on mass spectrometry has become prevalent for detecting new pollutants due to its high throughput capabilities. However, structural elucidation remains a major challenge in nontarget analysis. Here, we review the implementation of machine learning techniques to accelerate nontarget structural elucidation, with particular focus on spectral library matching, structural database retrieval, and de novo structure generation. We investigated the design principles, technical characteristics, and comparative evaluation of these computational approaches. In addition, we show their applications in environmental nontarget analysis for new pollutant identification. Finally, we discuss the challenges of current approaches and the future development trends. This review aims to deepen the understanding of existing computational approaches, promote the application of machine learning techniques in nontarget identification, and facilitate the integration of artificial intelligence with environmental pollutant analysis.
