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

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are manufactured chemicals and ubiquitously present in the environment, including in homes. The two major exposure pathways for PFAS indoors are inhalation and accidental ingestion of house dust; however, the influence of dust particle size on PFAS exposure is not well understood to date. Thus, we are aiming to better understand the relationship between dust particle size and PFAS concentrations. We collected dust from 10 homes in North Carolina and seven homes in New York, sieved the dust into multiple size fractions ranging from <63 μm to <2,000 μm, and used targeted methods to analyze the fractions for PFAS. We found that many neutral PFAS are significantly (
