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

Cyanobacterial and harmful algal blooms are common components of the waters in and around Southwest Florida and are sufficiently frequent to be of concern with respect to adverse effects on short- and long-term human and animal health. Currently, the contribution of airborne exposure to cyanobacterial toxins is not as advanced as for the other known human exposure routes such as consumption of contaminated water or fish. An airborne monitoring device named Airborne Detection for Algae Monitoring (ADAM) was developed to collect air samples in the proximity of algal and/or cyanobacterial blooms to examine the relationship between naturally occurring toxins in the air and those in proximal Floridian waters. Twenty-one air and water samplings were performed between July and December 2021 using a filter and impinger system for airborne components, along with a water sample from the same location. Samples were assessed for microcystins, anatoxin-a, cylindrospermopsin, saxitoxin and BMAA and isomers. Furthermore, as
