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

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from hardwood papers are associated with cellulose fibers, paper fillers, and the manufacturing process used. Volatiles emitted from samples of office (printing and writing) papers from various brands and countries were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and an electronic nose (e-nose) based on piezoelectric quartz crystals. Dodecanoic acid 1-methylethyl ester (isopropyl dodecanoate) and nonanal have shown to be the dominant compounds in most of the samples analyzed, regardless of the pulpwood used in paper manufacturing: Eucalyptus globulus, acacia, and birch. 3-Hydroxybutanone was detected only in Spanish papers, suggesting it as a potential marker. Additionally, the content in acetic acid enables the identification of recycled paper.
