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

Benzothiazole (BTH) derivatives are used widely. In particular, 2-methylthiobenzothiazole (2-MeS-BTH), used in rubber products and textiles and formed in the degradation of other BTH compounds, is found in air, particles, and water systems. In air, it reacts with OH radicals. We report here the first studies of the kinetics, products, and mechanisms of the gas-phase reaction of OH with 2-MeS-BTH. Relative rate studies carried out in air at 1 atm and 298 K give a rate constant for 2-MeS-BTH reaction with OH of (5.4 ± 0.9) × 10
