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

Current chemical exposures studies characterise chemical risk through mean-based concentrations, treating individual-level variability as statistical noise. However, this variability may carry structured ecological information that mean-based approaches systematically overlook. Here, we propose that individual per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) exposure variability constitutes a structured ecological signal, shaped by habitat use across oceanographic gradients and individual foraging behaviour, one that mean-based approaches are not designed to capture. To test the variability-as-signal hypothesis, we integrated two independent indices of individual stability using two sympatric guillemot species (
