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

Urban soils act as sinks for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) indicating the intensity of the anthropogenic load, while potential environmental and human health concerns may arise. In the present study, the concentrations, spatial distribution, source apportionment and potential health risks of 16 priority PAHs were investigated in urban soils from the city of Thessaloniki, Northern Greece. Surface soil samples were collected from 19 locations characterized by different land uses and traffic conditions. The total levels of the 16 PAHs exhibited substantial variability, with a range of 14.09-1565.4 μg kg
