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

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a significant class of environmental hazards in the atmosphere, posing substantial risks to human health and to various components of forest ecosystems. This research focused on assessing contamination levels and sources of 14 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and on potential toxicity associated with seven low-molecular-weight (Σ7 LMW) and eight high-molecular-weight (Σ8 HMW) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Here, leaves of several tree species (the native Quercus robur L., Fagus sylvatica L., Pinus sylvestris L., and Taxus baccata L.; the introduced Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (A. Murray bis) Parl.), litter and soil samples (10‒15 and 30‒40-cm depths) were analyzed in the formerly mining center of Baia Sprie, NW Romania. The content of Ʃ7 LMW PAHs decreased from litter to deeper soils (287, 9.07 ng g
