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

Polluted sediments affected by historic discharges of hexachlorobenzene (HCB), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pose risks to wildlife due to their bioaccumulative and toxic properties. Here, we propose an analytical method based on gas chromatography coupled to Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-Orbitrap-HRMS) to investigate the presence of multiple contaminants in sediments from the Flix chlor-alkali plant hotspot and to assess their impact on birds from the Ebro Delta Natural Park using eggs of Audouin's gull (Larus audouinii) as biomonitors. A combined target/suspect approach was optimised to (i) perform the quantitative analysis of 45 target persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and PAHs and evaluate quality parameters including recoveries, reproducibility, sensitivity, selectivity, and uncertainty measurement, and (ii) apply a suspect screening workflow using the high-resolution NIST library database to identify additional contaminants. Differences in compound patterns were observed between the matrices. In sediments, 4,4'-DDT was the predominant compound detected, reaching a maximum concentration of 49,386 ng g
