Concentration and potential health risks of trace metals in warty crab (Eriphia verrucosa Forskal, 1775) from Southern Coasts of the Black Sea, Turkey.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 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
The drastic increase of human population and industrial wastes mostly affects coastal areas. Crabs with limited mobility, especially in benthic regions of the coasts, are more affected by metal pollution. Monitoring of trace metals in terms of food safety and potential health risks is important for consumers. Warty crab (Eriphia verrucosa) samples were collected with trammel nets between July 2015 and June 2016. The crab extracts were analyzed by an ICP-MS optical emission spectrophotometer. Trace metal densities of crab meats in the present study were determined in the order of Zn > Cu > Fe > As > Al > Mn > Hg > Pb ≥ Cd. These levels were below the acceptable values reported by the Turkish Food Codex and the EU Commission. The target hazard quotient (THQ) was above 1 in terms of As, Cu, and Hg trace metals in both groups. This study showed that although the level of trace metal was below allowable values, consumption of warty crab more than once a month may cause metal toxicity according to potential health risk analyses.
