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
Sediments quality is a good indicator of pollution in a water body where various elements were concentrated. Limited information is available on sediments from hand-dug wells. The present study evaluates sediment samples collected from groundwater of Lagos and Ogun States, Southwest Nigeria. Twenty sediment samples were collected from shallow groundwater, and ten rock samples were also collected from the vicinity of recently dug wells. Trace elements were determined in both the sediments and the rock samples using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. The enrichment factor was calculated for different elements using Fe, Ti, Mn and Cu as normalizing elements. The order of sediment contamination with each normalizing elements are Cu > Mn > Ti > Fe. The geo-accumulation (Igeo) indexes for Cr, Pb, Cu and Ni are 1.31, 1.05, 1.94 and 1.85, respectively. The Igeo for Lagos sediments is in the order Cr > Pb > Ni > Cu, while in Ogun sediments the order is Cu > Ni > Cr > Pb. The results were compared with Canadian Council of Ministers of Environment values of threshold effect level and probable effect level, which shows the sediments are not toxic. The pollution load index and ecological risk index values are 2.463 and 0.0014, respectively, which further indicates the sediments are not toxic in nature. The major source of most elements in sediments is the host rocks found in the vicinity of the groundwater while high level of some elements recorded in sediments are from the anthropogenic sources.
