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

Chlorinated per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (Cl-PFAS) represent an important subgroup in replacement chemicals for legacy PFAS, and they have been detected in various environments including water bodies, soil, as well as air particles. However, the biodegradability of these chemicals is largely unknown. A recent study reported dechlorination triggered anaerobic biodefluorination of Cl-PFCAs by activated sludge communities. In this study, we further investigated the biodefluorination of Cl-PFCAs by pure cultures. Six of ten selected Cl-PFCAs displayed significant defluorination by
