Source analysis and risk assessment of heavy metals in development zones: a case study in Rizhao, China.
Article in Environmental geochemistry and health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The effects of heavy metal pollution in parks have caused widespread concern. This study investigated the concentrations and sources of eight heavy metals in the economic and technological development zone in Rizhao City. Geo-accumulation index ([Formula: see text]) and potential ecological risk index (PERI) were used to assess the pollution level of the development zone. Sources of heavy metals were analyzed through correlation analysis (CA) and principal component analysis (PCA). Descriptive statistics showed that many types of heavy metals accumulated in the development zone. The average concentrations of Pb, Cd, Hg, Ni, and Zn in the soil exceeded the background values of soil environment in Shandong Province. [Formula: see text] showed that only Hg in the soil was at the non-pollution to moderate pollution level. Meanwhile, sediments were polluted by Hg, Cd, and Zn, with their pollution level being higher than that of the soil. PERI showed that the soil presented moderate risk level and that the river sediment showed severe risk level. Hg and Cd exhibited the highest potential ecological risk. The results of the CA and PCA showed that the main sources of heavy metal pollution in the development zone are industrial activities, followed by atmospheric factors. Focus should thus be directed toward heavy metal pollution in development zones to protect human health and the soil environment.
