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 application of composts could be accompanied by potential hazards to soil and humans, caused by heavy metals and organic persistent pollutants. A total of 115 compost samples from four different origins (green waste composts, sewage sludge composts, mixed municipal waste composts after mechanical-biological treatment and mixed municipal waste compost) were collected to analyse the chemical composition, nutrients levels, seven heavy metals, 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and seven polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs). Simulation models were used to estimate the heavy metal accumulation risk in soil and to evaluate the potential ecological risk to environment. After analysing chemical parameters of compost quality, it was found that sewage sludge composts contained the highest amounts of nitrogen (2.98%), phosphorus (4.44%) and organic matter (47.6%), and the highest potassium content (1.20%) was found in mixed municipal composts after mechanical-biological treatment. After having tested all the composts, green waste composts had the lowest content of the following nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur. High molecular weight PAHs dominated in green waste, sewage sludge and mixed municipal waste composts, and the opposite tendency was observed on mixed municipal waste composts after mechanical-biological treatment; low molecular weight PAHs were abundant. It was determined that, according to the total amount of 15 PAHs (16.54 mg kg
