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

Metals tend to accumulate in higher organisms, e.g., fish and human through biomagnification effects in food chain. So, their presence in any component of the environment has become a global ecosystem and health concern. Here, we measured four health concerned metals like As, Cr, Mn, and Hg via inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and analyzed applying some chemometrics for the assessment of human health risk through consumption of Puntius ticto, a very commonly consumed small fish in Bangladesh. The average concentration (wet weight) of metals was in the following descending order: Hg (0.006 mg/kg) > Cr (0.004 mg/kg) > Mn (0.003 mg/kg) > As (0.002 mg/kg). Hg level exceeded the provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI), and all other metals were within the permissible limit. The estimated daily intake (EDI) index of heavy metals showed that all the concentration levels were under the recommended daily intake (RDA) except Hg. Increased level of Hg is of particular concern to human health due to its biomagnification nature and can cause several neurological and physiological disorders including kidney failure. The total target hazard quotients (TTHQs) and carcinogenic risk (CR) matrices revealed that the intakes of Hg and As through fish consumption were higher than the recommended values, indicating consumers' remain non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic (THQ > 1; CR > 10
