Effect of quarry activities on selected biological resources around quarry site within Onigambari forest plantation, Oyo State, Nigeria.
Article in Environmental geochemistry and health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Quarry activities are creating diverse stress on biological resources in the rural areas where most of them are located globally. In this study, the effect of quarry activities on elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) leaves and soils around Onigambari Forest Reserve, Oyo State, Nigeria, were investigated. Soil and samples of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) leaves were collected from two different distances from the quarry plant. Samples used as control were collected within the boundary of Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN), Oyo State, Nigeria estate. Samples were analysed using proton-induced X-ray emission, to determine the elements. The physiochemical parameters were also analysed in both soil and leaves samples. The mean concentration of the elements in the soil sample from Site 1 was higher in Mg, Cl, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Zn and Zr than Site 2 and the control site. While in leaves, similar trend was observed. Cd and Ag were highly enriched.
