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

The contents of total arsenic (tAs), inorganic arsenic (iAs), Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, and Zn in 135 rice grain samples from Zijiang River basin were determined, and the probabilistic distribution of noncarcinogenic and carcinogenic risks associated with ingesting locally produced rice was determined by Monte Carlo simulation. Further, multivariate statistical analysis was used to analyze the potential sources of the heavy metals in rice grains. The average concentrations of the heavy metals in rice grains were ranked as follows: Mn (17.314 mg/kg) > Zn (16.043 mg/kg) > Cu (2.013 mg/kg) > Ni (1.332 mg/kg) > Cr (0.571 mg/kg) > Cd (0.283 mg/kg) > tAs (0.241 mg/kg) > Pb (0.145 mg/kg) > Sb (0.027 mg/kg). These heavy metals were significantly enriched in some rice grain samples. The analysis of potential sources indicated that As, Pb, Sb, and Zn were mainly derived from mining and smelting and agricultural activities; Cd, Cu, Mn, and Ni were mainly derived from the agricultural activities; Cr were mainly derived from the natural source. The results of Monte Carlo simulation indicated that ingestion of rice grown in the area may pose health risks for children, adult males, and adult females. The noncarcinogenic risks were mainly from As, Cd, Mn, Ni, and Sb, and the carcinogenic risk was mainly from As, Cd, and Ni. This study could provide basic information for land management and rice intake in the study area.
