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

Heavy metal distributions in water, sediments, and freshwater shellfish collected from Liuyang River in China have been investigated. The concentrations of heavy metals including Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, and Pb were determined by ICP-MS. The distribution pattern of heavy metals in sediments was different from that in water. Large coefficients of variation of heavy metal concentrations were observed in water due to the susceptibility to discharge fluctuation and seasonal variation. Multivariate statistical analysis such as Pearson's correlation analysis, hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and principal component analysis (PCA) were employed to identify the possible sources of heavy metals in sediments. These heavy metals were categorized into three distinct groups, one was derived from natural existence and two were associated with anthropogenic activities. Five shellfish species including three species of gastropod mollusks (Parafossarulus eximius, Semisulcospira cancellata, and Pomacea canaliculata) and two species of bivalve mollusks (Corbicula fluminea and Anodonta woodiana) were collected and investigated. The distribution pattern of heavy metals in shellfish species was visualized by the nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) plot. The metal pollution index (MPI) values for the shellfish species were in the descending order of C. fluminea > A. woodiana > S. cancellata > P. eximius > P. canaliculata.
