Effects of varying temperatures and alkalinities on the corrosion and heavy metal release from low-lead galvanized steel.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 presence of galvanized pipe in drinking water distribution systems is known to be associated with heavy metal release, especially after the aging of zinc coating. This study examined release of lead and other heavy metals (e.g., cadmium, chromium) from galvanized steel coupons with a low-lead zinc coating. Metal release data were obtained in 12-week long jar tests which were conducted at varying temperatures and alkalinities. The morphology of the exposed surfaces was dominated by spherical and acicular formations. Exposures at 36 °C were associated with increased corrosion rates, accelerated depletion of zinc coating and faster development of corrosion scales, compared with 4 and 20 °C. The protective action of zinc coating was enhanced at increasing alkalinities. Metal release data showed a significant enrichment of Pb and Cd levels in the particulates released from the low-Pb galvanized steel.
