China's Ban on Phenylarsonic Feed Additives, A Major Step toward Reducing the Human and Ecosystem Health Risk from Arsenic.
Article in Environmental science & technology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Phenylarsonic feed additives were once widely used in poultry and swine production around the world, which brought significant and unnecessary health risk to consumers due to elevated residues of arsenic species in animal tissues. They also increased the risk to ecosystems via releases of inorganic arsenic through their environmental transformation. Out of concern for the negative impacts on human and ecosystem health, China, one of the world's largest poultry and swine producing countries, recently banned the use of phenylarsonic feed additives in food animal production. This ban, if fully enforced, will result in reduction of approximately 1160 cancer cases per year from the consumption of chicken meat alone, and avoid an annual economic loss of nearly 0.6 billion CNY according to our risk analysis. Furthermore, the inventory of anthropogenic arsenic emissions in China will be cut by approximately one-third with the phase-out of phenylarsonic feed additives. This ban is also expected to lead to significant reduction in the accumulation of arsenic in the soils of farmlands fertilized by poultry and swine wastes and, consequently, lower the accumulation of arsenic in food crops grown on them, which could have even greater public health benefits. But effective enforcement of the ban is crucial, and it will require detailed supervision of veterinary drug production and distribution, and enhanced surveillance of animal feeds and food products. Furthermore, control of other major anthropogenic sources of arsenic is also necessary to better protect human health and the environment.
