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

This work aims to diagnose the state of the northeastern coasts of Tunisia using P. articulatus species. Biological parameters, protein and metallothionein content, enzymatic activities, and metallic concentration were assessed at four stations during four seasons and analyzed by multiple regressions. The comparison of biological ratios showed minima at Sidi Daoued and maxima at Korbous where metallothioneins were maximal. The catalytic activity was low during summer and higher during cold periods contrary to acetylcholinesterase activity. Concerning glutathione S-transferase, its activity was important at Kelibia in autumn and at La Goulette and Sidi Daoued in warm seasons. The metallic concentrations were low at Korbous and maximal at Kelibia and Sidi Daoued stations. Kelibia seems to be the most polluted site followed by Sidi Daoued and La Goulette (industries, urbanization and fishing ports). The pollution seems to be reduced at Korbous station having more suitable conditions for the proliferation of monodonts.
