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

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental pollutants of growing concern due to their wide use, resistance to degradation, and potential risks to human health and ecosystems. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of PFAS contamination in soils from a more than century-old long-term fertilisation experiment, fire training grounds, and landfills, as well as their presence in atmospheric precipitation conducted under Central European environmental conditions. Soil, leachate, and precipitation samples were analysed for 54 PFAS compounds using the HPLC-MS/MS method. Elevated concentrations, mainly of short-chain compounds (PFOS, PFOA, PFHxS, PFBA), were detected at sites where AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) was used (Σ 2537 µg·kg
