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

A molecularly imprinted polymer thin film (MIP) on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate for the selective extraction and solid-state fluorescence detection of dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a marker of oil spills in marine environments was developed. The MIP thin films were produced via UV-initiated polymerization of a polymeric mixture, giving a mechanically robust thin film without the necessity to modify the substrate surface. This solid-state fluorometric technique eliminated the need for extraction by providing a direct measurement of fluorescence from the solid phase, reducing sample pre-treatment requirements. Linear responses were observed over a concentration range of 5.0 to 80.0 µg L⁻
