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

Organic aerosols from biomass burning and primary biological sources are ubiquitous in the Earth's atmosphere. These aerosols have a significant impact on the absorption and scattering of solar radiation, serve as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and potentially influence the albedo of ice and snow in remote regions. Here we investigated polar organic markers for biomass burning, and primary biological aerosols at a remote site (Qomolangma, 4,276 m a.s.l.) of Mt. Everest, central Himalayas using a solvent extraction-BSTFA derivatization-GC/MS technique. Our results reveal distinct seasonal trends for biomass-burning aerosol tracers, exhibiting peak concentrations during the pre-monsoon season and reaching minimum levels during the summer monsoon period (579 and 49.1 ng C m
