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.
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
Ultraviolet (UV) absorbers are a group of chemicals widely used in various industrial and consumer products, such as plastics, coatings, and personal care products, to protect against UV radiation. Among them, benzotriazole derivatives (e.g. UV-326, UV-327, UV-328, UV-329, and UV-P) are the most frequently employed. Owing to their widespread use and potential persistence in the environment, these compounds have been detected in various environmental matrices, including surface water, wastewater, sediment, and biota. Certain UV stabilizers have been reported to exhibit endocrine-disrupting properties and pose potential ecological risks. Therefore, developing sensitive and reliable analytical methods for monitoring these compounds in environmental samples is essential. To address the need for reliable detection methods, this study developed a robust method based on liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) coupled with ultra performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for the simultaneous determination of eight UV absorbers in surface water and wastewater. Critical optimization of the pretreatment process focused on solvent selection and purification parameters. The finalized protocol involved extracting 100 mL water samples twice with dichloromethane. After nitrogen-assisted solvent evaporation, the residue was reconstituted in methanol and mixed with the internal standard solution. UPLC-MS/MS parameters were optimized to achieve optimal instrumental performance. The separation of the eight UVs was performed using a BEH C18 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) with a gradient elution system consisting of 0.2% (mass fraction) formic acid aqueous solution and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. The injection volume was 2 μL. Detection was performed in positive ion mode using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), with an electrospray ionization voltage set at 5 500 V. Quantification was achieved via internal standard calibration to ensure precision and accuracy. The method demonstrated excellent linearity for all target compounds across their respective concentration ranges, with a correlation coefficient (
