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

Soil pollution by heavy metals (HMs) has rapidly become a major threat to vegetable security. Nearly all cultivated soils are at risk of metal accumulation, and greenhouse soils are among the most heavily impacted soils. In this study, a rapid assessment of HMs at trace concentrations was conducted via portable X-ray fluorescence (PXRF) spectroscopy in Shouguang, China. Measurements were made via PXRF under in situ, ex situ and sieved conditions and by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) after acid digestion. The performance of each PXRF measure relative to the ICP-MS method was assessed by linear regression. Redundancy analysis was performed to quantify the proportion of explained variability between the PXRF and ICP-MS data. Evaluation of the possible sources of HMs and their potential risks was then conducted by multivariate analysis. The results showed that the PXRF data were closely correlated with ICP-MS quantification for Cu, Mn and Zn, whereas no significant correlations were found for As, Ni and Pb. The uncertainties of PXRF measurement derived from soil heterogeneity accounted for 20.02% of total variability and those from moisture and particle size accounted for 20.15%.
