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

Organic aerosol particles (OA) can absorb solar radiation with varying efficiencies depending on their chemical composition and physical properties. This light-absorbing fraction of OA, commonly referred to as brown carbon (BrC), is difficult to accurately represent in climate models due to the inherent diversity of its optical properties. This variability arises from differences in emission sources and atmospheric processing, as well as from variations in experimental design and the analytical methods used to quantify BrC absorption. As a result, the climate effect of BrC remains uncertain. Here, we studied the light absorption properties of surface ambient OA using measurements from 17 sites across Europe. Combining multi-wavelength absorption measurements from filter-based photometers with OA mass concentrations and source apportionment derived from ACSM/AMS data, we derive empirical estimates of the OA mass absorption cross section (MAC
