Assessment of the Heavy Metal Accumulation of Various Green Vegetables Grown in Nevşehir and their Risks Human Health.

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
This study aimed to investigate the accumulation of heavy metal in five different leafy green vegetables grown in 10 different agricultural lands in the province of Nevşehir, Turkey, and determine the human health risks that may arise as a result the consumption of such metals. The heavy metal concentrations found in the soil samples taken from the agricultural lands were as follows: manganese (Mn) > lead (Pb) > arsenic (As) > nickel (Ni) > copper (Cu) > cadmium (Cd). These concentrations were found to be well above the permitted limits imposed by the World Health Organization/Food and Agricultural Organization (WHO/FAO) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Also, particularly the concentrations of Pb and As were found to be dangerous levels in the soil. According to their accumulation in the vegetables, the detected heavy metal concentrations were listed as Mn > Zn > Cu > Ni > As > Cd. The estimated daily intake amount of the heavy metals was also found to be higher than the limits determined by FAO/WHO. Furthermore, the target hazard quotient of the metals was Mn > As > Cu > Zn > Ni > Cd > Pb. It was found to be > 1 for the sampling areas, except for Cd and Pb. As a result of the study, it was determined that almost all of the annual heavy metal intake amount that the population living in this region should receive was met as a result of the consumption of leafy vegetables grown in the stations designated for this study. It is vital to effectively monitor the heavy metal in the soil and vegetables to reduce metal concentrations in the studied area and to investigate its effects on human health. By doing so, acute and chronic health problems due to the heavy metal exposure in this region can be prevented.
