Assessment of heavy metal pollution in coastal sediments of the western Caspian Sea.
Article in Environmental monitoring and assessment, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The distribution of heavy metals in sediment samples from the western Caspian Sea coast (near industrial region, Sangachal Terminal) was investigated to obtain information about heavy metal pollution. Forty-three surface sediment samples were collected and analyzed for heavy metals (As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, V, and Zn) using an Agilent 7700x inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometer system. Hg concentrations were detected by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry using Varian SpectrAA 220FS + VGA-77 system. The average concentrations of these heavy metals at the same sampling locations followed the order of Fe > Mn > Ba > Zn > Cr > Ni > Cu > As > Pb > Co > Se > Mo > Cd > Hg. Single element pollution index values including geo-accumulation index (I
