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 quantitative characterization of multiple exposure routes to quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) remains underexplored. In this study, paired samples of indoor dust, bulk air, hand wipes, silicone wristbands, and urine were collected from 109 adults residing in urban homes from South China in 2023. First, seven urinary biomarkers, including hydroxylated and carboxylated metabolites of C10-C14 benzylalkyldimethylammonium compounds (BACs), were identified using a combined
