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

Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) enables nontargeted identification of molecular formulas in natural organic matter (NOM), yet molecular-level isotope analysis at natural abundance remains limited. Here, we present a comprehensive workflow for molecular formula-specific isotope analysis (MSIA) in NOM using FT-ICR MS, including calibration against universal reference materials (RMs). The central step of MSIA is an intensity-tuning strategy that, with sufficient spectral averaging, achieves sub-per mil (‰) precision and accuracy and enables robust isotopic comparison (Δδ
