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

This study provides a summary of ambient concentrations of 30 commonly analysed perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at 54 sites adjacent to various land use types across the east coast of Queensland, Australia. Sites were sampled for surface water every 2 months for a year (2019-2020). The results showed higher concentrations of PFAS in surface waters adjacent to major city areas (e.g. urban, industrial, residential land use types), and the lowest in surface waters adjacent to remote and regional areas (e.g. national parks, agriculture land use types). Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) was the most reported compound (in 53% of samples), ranging from < 0.1 to 0.4 ng L
