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

This study examined the impact of shipping emissions on the atmospheric composition and oxidation capacity in the Eastern Mediterranean, focusing on Greece and the Piraeus port. The analysis used CAMx air quality modeling (simulations for January and July 2019), Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) receptor modeling, and ship emission inventories from CAMS-REGv6.1 and the "Flexible Emission Inventory for Greece and the Greater Athens Area" (FEI-GREGAA). Zeroing out shipping emissions within Greek maritime waters resulted in substantial reductions in monthly concentrations of pollutants in major Aegean Sea shipping corridors, becoming largest in the Piraeus port. PMF and CAMx estimations for the net shipping contribution to fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) in the Piraeus passenger port area showed good correlations. However, CAMx average estimates were higher compared to PMF (1.1 µg m
