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
Monitoring of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water environment is a crucial task due to their widespread occurrence and potential ecological risks. However, detailed studies on analytical method development for these contaminants are still limited in emerging and developing countries. In this research, we investigated analytical procedures for determining 17 PAHs in surface water samples, which comprise solid-phase extraction (SPE) with endcapped C18 sorbent, extract cleanup, and quantification by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Recoveries of PAHs through different extraction conditions and cleanup techniques (i.e., column chromatography, SPE, and gel permeation chromatography) were evaluated. Water extraction with C18 cartridges can provide sufficient recovery, repeatability, and acceptable matrix background for GC-MS analysis without further extract cleanup steps. The proposed method was validated for recovery (50%-130%), repeatability (RSD < 20%), detection limits (0.10-10 ng/L), and matrix effect factors (within ±15%). The validated method was applied to analyze PAHs in surface water samples collected from Hanoi urban areas, Vietnam. Concentrations of total PAHs in real samples ranged from 29 to 290 (median 77) ng/L, which were dominated by naphthalene (57% ± 12%) and phenanthrene (19% ± 7%).
