Edible clay inclusion in the diet of oysters can reduce tissue residues of polychlorinated biphenyls.

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
objectivePolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are lipophilic and persistent environmental pollutants that are readily absorbed and accumulated in high concentrations in fatty tissues of humans and animals. Invertebrate animals, such as oysters, are vulnerable and sensitive to PCB contamination.
methodsPreviously, our in vitro isothermal studies have shown that acid processed montmorillonites (APM) can effectively bind PCBs and Aroclors. Therefore, in a novel application of this work, a dietary strategy for shellfish was developed using APM, and its parent clay to reduce exposures to PCBs in oysters. PCB residues in oysters with clay treatment at different dietary inclusion rates and durations were measured and compared to a washout treatment.
resultsThe efficacy and safety of this strategy were supported by a significant reduction of PCB residues with the inclusion of a low level of APM (0.05%) during a 4-day treatment. Moreover, this sorbent strategy reduced PCB residues in oysters in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
conclusionsBased on our results, it is possible that clay-based sorbents such as APM, can be included in the diet to significantly reduce exposures to PCBs.
