Determination of metals in Anemonia sulcata (Pennant, 1777) as a pollution bioindicator.
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 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
Contamination from metals as a result of anthropic action in coastal marine areas is increasing and it is therefore of great importance to have an appropriate follow-up program in these areas. Samples were taken in the intertidal in 6 sites, of which 5 were in the island of Tenerife and one in the island of Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain); in all sites, 15 anemone samples were collected. Twenty metals were analyzed by ICP-OES. The results show the highest concentrations of contamination in the area of Los Silos and Puerto del Carmen for the anthropogenic metals Cr, B, Ni, Cu, Pb, Cd, Fe, Li, and V; Los Silos shows Pb 25.264 ± 27.185 mg/kg and Cd 0.058 ± 0.050 mg/kg, which are high compared with the other sites and indicate that the area may be exposed to a high degree of contamination. Compared with other studies, Los Silos has the same or greater concentrations of anthropogenic metals than areas of greater pollution, such as the Mediterranean Sea or the Indian Ocean. For these reasons, Anemonia sulcata can be used as a bioindicator of anthropogenic contamination and it has become a useful organism for environmental pollution monitoring studies.
