Copper and other heavy metals in grapes: a pilot study tracing influential factors and evaluating potential risks in China.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
In this study, grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) were systematically sampled across the main grape-producing areas in a nationwide survey of China. Grapes from special regions, such as heavy metal polluted areas (e-waste dismantling area) and pesticide free areas (courtyard) were also collected to make a comparison. Grape skins and pulps were separated to evaluate influence of accumulation behavior, environmental transport and water cleaning efficiency to heavy metals. Levels of copper in grape skins (5.02 ± 3.18 μg/g) were higher than in pulps (3.74 ± 1.48 μg/g). Only high level of copper in two grape skins (sampled from an e-waste dismantling area) showed obvious decrease during water clean-up procedure, indicating the influence of air deposition. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in the copper levels of grapes from markets, courtyards and e-waste dismantling areas. Concentrations and sources of chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and arsenic (As) were also analyzed. Higher levels of these heavy metals were observed in grape skins than pulps. Finally, we evaluated the risk of ingesting heavy metal through grapes using the estimated daily intake (EDI). No health risk was found by consuming grapes according to the data from this study.
