Assessment of heavy metal contamination in two edible fish species Carassius carassius and Triplophysa kashmirensis of Dal Lake, Srinagar, Kashmir, India.

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
The present study was aimed to examine the concentration of heavy metals in the two edible fish species Carassius carassius and Triplophysa kashmirensis of the Dal Lake (Srinagar, Jammu, and Kashmir, India). Metals cadmium (Cd), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), and chromium (Cr) were analyzed using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Differences in the heavy metal accumulation were observed between the two species as well as between different sizes of the same species. Small size fishes exhibited more concentration of heavy metals than the larger size fishes of the same species. Heavy metals were found in the ranking order of Zn > Cr > Pb > Cu > Mn > Cd in both species of fishes and in both sizes as well. Zn, being the most concentrated metal found in both species, can pose a threat in the near future. Since both species are edible and constitute an essential part of human diet, the heavy metals assessed can be bioaccumulated in humans when consumed; hence, an extensive investigation is needed to evaluate the heavy metal concentration of other edible fishes of the Dal Lake in the future. The study will also be helpful in providing baseline data on the heavy metal accumulation of edible fish species in freshwater ecosystems.
