Biogeochemical assessment of the impact of Zn mining activity in the area of the Jebal Trozza mine, Central Tunisia.
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 4 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
Soil pollution associated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) from mining residues is a significant problem worldwide. The decommissioned Jebal Trozza mine, located in central Tunisia, may pose a serious problem because of the possible high concentrations of PTEs present in its wastes. This mine is a potential source of contamination for agriculture in this area due to both direct causes (pollution of agricultural soils) and indirect causes (pollution of sediments that accumulate in a dam used for irrigation). The aim of the study reported here was to assess the effects of local mining activity in two respects: (1) in terms of soil quality, as determined by soil edaphological parameters and PTEs contents in the mining wastes and local soils; and (2) in terms of biological quality, as evaluated by quantification of enzymatic activity as an indicator of bacterial activity in soils and wastes. The mine tailings contained high levels of Pb (1.83-5.95%), Zn (7.59-12.48%) and Cd (85.95-123.25 mg kg
