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

As food packaging materials are in direct contact with the food we eat and cook under heat or pressure, consumers are apprehensive of their adverse effects on the food products. Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are often used in food packaging because of their hydrophobic properties; however, some PFASs are carcinogens, thus prompting further studies on their effects. In this study, a pretreatment method of 31 PFASs in coffee was established using the QuEChERS extraction method and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. We brewed 32 types of capsule coffee distributed in Korea, analyzed them for PFASs, and evaluated their safety. The results show that perfluorooctanoic acid and 8:2 fluorotelomer sulfonate levels are higher in machine-brewed capsule coffee than in capsule coffees brewed manually through a paper filter. However, the hazard quotient and excess cancer risk for all coffee samples are lower than the World Health Organization standards, and therefore, these samples are considered safe. The results of this study may aid in expanding the existing literature on PFAS detection in relation to human health.
