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

In situ colloidal activated carbon (CAC) barriers limit the migration of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater. While the influence of site-specific conditions on equilibrium adsorption has been studied, the kinetics and mechanisms of desorption remain unreported. Here, we quantify the extent of PFAS desorption from CAC using preloaded flow-through columns and explore mechanisms of release. PFAS release after 1600 pore volumes under baseline conditions (1 mM NaHCO
