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

Rare earth elements (REEs) consist of 17 transition metals which are the 15 lanthanides and yttrium and scandium. These elements have great utility in the production of modern technology, especially electronics. However, these materials may pose a serious threat to the environment if handled or disposed of incorrectly; the effects of which are being studied by the field of environmental toxicology. A multitude of studies have indicated that rare earth elements have harmful impacts on biological life, making a reform to the disposal of rare earth elements increasingly pressing. Scientific interest in REEs is constantly rising due to the increased use of REEs due to their utility. In this paper, we display our meta-analysis of a scientific literature database, PubMed, to quantitatively map the temporal flux of research and interest pertaining to REEs, especially in the field of environmental science. Our findings may prove useful for planning research on REEs or predicting the future of REE usage.
