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

Uranium contamination is a major global concern, as its chemical and radiological effects threaten ecosystems and human health, particularly in mining-impacted regions. Pentavalent uranium is a key but often overlooked intermediate in U biogeochemistry, challenging the conventional view of a direct U(VI) to U(IV) transition and precipitation in natural waters. Here we demonstrate the formation and stability of U(V) under environmentally relevant mine-water conditions using advanced spectroscopic and microscopic analyses. Our data reveal concurrent U(VI) reduction to U(IV), as biogenic uraninite nanoparticles, and to U(V) as FeU
