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

Transport emissions are a major source of urban polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), posing risks to human health. While plant leaves and their epiphytic microbes contribute to PAH degradation, how plant traits and environmental factors affect this process remains unclear. This study examined 20 tree species in Beijing's traffic corridors to explore PAH enrichment on leaves and the structure of phyllospheric bacterial communities. Results show that leaf area, morphology, and sampling height significantly influenced bacterial community assembly. Normalized Stochasticity Ratio (NST) analysis indicated that deterministic processes dominate on medium-sized leaves (11.8-40.1 cm
