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

Black carbon (BC) dynamics in polar fjords remain poorly understood despite their importance in organic carbon (OC) cycling. We investigated BC dynamics in the water column and sediments of Antarctic fjords. Dissolved BC concentrations in Marian Cove and Maxwell Bay ranged from 0.10-2.71 and 0.70-2.70 μM, respectively, with molecular characteristics indicating highly condensed, locally anthropogenic BC rather than photochemically aged biomass-burning sources. Bayesian mixing model analyses showed that fossil-fuel-derived BC increased 2.7-fold, from 6% in 2019 to 16% in 2023, reflecting intensified tourism and research activities following COVID-19-related restrictions. Sedimentary BC (73-85% C
