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

Brown carbon aerosols (BrC) significantly contribute to regional climate warming in East Asia. However, their sources and atmospheric transformation remain poorly constrained due to limited observations. In this study, we clarified the seasonal dynamics of BrC and quantified the sources of relating carbonaceous components, at the gateway of the East Asian air outflow for seasonal variations. Our findings reveal that fossil fuel combustion dominates the sources of BrC containing carbonaceous components in winter, while biomass burning and local biogenic sources become more prominent in spring and summer, respectively. We provide benchmark optical properties of BrC for climate model simulations, demonstrating that the absorption coefficient and mass absorption cross-section of water-soluble fraction from land-originated air masses (0.47 Mm
