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

Understanding the attenuation rate of organic chemicals in aquatic environments is essential for assessing their long-term ecological risks and informing chemical management. Biodegradation is a key attenuation pathway for many chemicals, however, measuring biodegradation in situ is inherently complex, resource-intensive, and subject to high environmental variability. Consequently, regulatory frameworks and research efforts often rely on laboratory tests, intended to provide controlled and reproducible conditions. Despite their widespread application, few studies have evaluated how well these laboratory results represent biodegradation in real aquatic environments. In this study, we compared biodegradation rate constants (
