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

Airborne lead arsenate chloride (mimetite) crystals ranging from sub-micrometer to 10 μm in length and attached to Zn-bearing phase and soot were observed in ambient air in Zabrze, Poland. Mimetite was identified by Raman microspectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The airborne mimetite, while apparently related to the historic Zn and Pb ore smelting in the region, was collected in a place not directly affected by the smelting. Mimetite commonly occurs in As- and Pb-contaminated topsoil and waste dumps in the region. Six topsoil samples were collected within the small (0.4 km
