Emerging contaminants follow class-specific mechanistic regimes in sediment-water partitioning.

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.
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
Understanding the sediment-water partitioning of emerging contaminants is essential for assessing their mobility, persistence and ecological risks in river systems. However, the mechanisms driving large differences in partitioning behaviour across contaminant classes remain poorly resolved at the basin scale. Here we show that major emerging contaminant classes follow distinct mechanistic regimes in sediment-water partitioning. Analysis of a nationwide dataset comprising 5085 paired sediment-water records across China's major river basins reveals that antibiotics are predominantly controlled by molecular descriptors, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are strongly modulated by ion-mediated interfacial processes, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals exhibit synergistic regulation by molecular, geochemical and basin-scale factors. Integration with molecular dynamics simulations confirms these class-specific mechanisms at the molecular interface, while a multi-branch multi-head attention framework enables accurate prediction (
