Assessment of sources and pollution state of trace and toxic elements in street dust in a metropolitan city.
Article in Environmental geochemistry and health, 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
Street dust and urban soil samples are significant part of environmental compartments to evaluate the contamination levels in urban and industrial zones. This study was carried out to ascertain the concentrations of trace and toxic elements in Izmir street dusts collected from 20 different sites dominating by industrial (four sites), residential (seven sites) and traffic (nine sites) areas, and also to figure out the exposure of adults and children to the elemental toxicity in dust. In order to measure the total and soluble concentrations of elements, the dust samples were analyzed with ICP-MS methodology. The results indicated that concentrations of anthropogenic-based elements are homogenously spread out in whole Izmir city in a similar way to crustal-based elements. This indicates that traffic and residential heating were dominant pollutant sources throughout the city dusts. The health risk assessment showed that elemental non-carcinogenic risks are lower than limit value. However, the cancer risks exceed the acceptable level for As and Cr. According to source apportionment analysis, seven factors were defined for trace elements for all site data.
