Manganese redox buffering limits arsenic release from contaminated sediments, Union Lake, New Jersey.

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.
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
The sediments of Union Lake in Southern New Jersey are contaminated with arsenic released from the Vineland Chemical Company Superfund site 11 km upstream. Seasonal anoxia has been shown to release arsenic from sediments to similar lakes; this process was hypothesized as a major arsenic source to Union Lake. Data indicate, however, that releases of arsenic to bottom waters from the sediments or from pore waters within the sediments are relatively minor: bottom water arsenic concentrations reached ~30 ppb (~12 μM) at most, representing <13% of the dissolved arsenic content of the lake. Manganese concentrations increase more quickly and to higher levels than arsenic and iron concentrations; maximum [Mn]= ~13 ppm (~250 μM), maximum [Fe] = ~6 ppm (~120 μM). Incubation experiments support the hypothesis that manganese acts as a redox buffer and prevents large arsenic releases. Under the observed conditions, little of the arsenic in the water column is from contaminated sediment. This study also suggests that arsenic release from sediment to lake water may be more important in lakes that remain anoxic more continuously.
