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

Humic-like substances (HULISs) are a major fraction of cloud-water organic matter that modulate aqueous reactivity and light absorption. We sampled Mt. Tai cloud water (North China Plain) in summer 2021 under land-influenced (LI) and marine-influenced (MI) air-mass trajectories, isolated HULIS by solid-phase extraction, and characterized them using ultrahigh-resolution FT-ICR MS. HULIS averaged 3.1 ± 2.1 mgC L-1 (39 ± 16% of WSOC). LI concentrations were ∼2× MI, whereas the HULIS/WSOC fraction was higher in MI. We assigned 7,104 molecular formulas with substantial overlap but distinct unique pools (1,879 LI-unique; 787 MI-unique). LI-unique formulas were enriched in mid-high-mass CHOS and reduced carbon oxidation state signatures, while MI-unique formulas featured a low-mass, highly oxygenated diacid-like pool and aromatic/unsaturated character. These results show that air-mass provenance leaves persistent molecular fingerprints in cloud-water HULIS, informing source-to-cloud processing links and cloud-phase chemistry.
