Health risks of heavy metal exposure and microbial contamination through consumption of vegetables irrigated with treated wastewater at Dubai, UAE.

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 shortage of fresh water is a major problem throughout the world, but the situation is worst in the arid and semiarid regions. Therefore, reuse of nonconventional water resources such as treated wastewater (TWW) is a common practice to irrigate field crops, vegetables, and forestry sectors. The present study was conducted to evaluate the significant impact of different heavy metals such as copper (Cu), iron (Fe), chromium (Cr), and zinc (Zn) on the soil and leafy, root, and fruit vegetables following irrigation with TWW through subsurface drip irrigation. Our results indicate that iron (Fe) was highest in lettuce followed by spinach, and Zn and Cr were second and third most abundant element in the different vegetables. Eggplant and radish showed the lowest concentrations of various heavy metals. A significant difference was observed in transfer factor (TF) among vegetables, and highest TF
