The influence of the industrial area on the pollution outside its borders: a case study from Quintero and Puchuncavi districts, Chile.
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 6 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 specific objectives of this study were: (1) to establish background content levels of potentially harmful elements in topsoil of Quintero and Puchuncavi districts; (2) to assess the degree of topsoil pollution and identify the local sources of pollution; and (3) to assess the health risk of metal exposure to population. Data from a Chilean Environmental Ministry report were analyzed. Multivariate analysis suggests that the potentially harmful elements are split into two main groups, which can be explained by controlling geogenic (Ni, V and Zn) and anthropogenic (As, Cd, Cu and Pb) factors. The spatial distribution of As, Cd, Cu and Pb displays a spatial pattern around the Puchuncavi-Ventanas industrial park. The background values determined with MAD (median absolute deviation) method include As 31.6 mg kg
