Source apportionment and health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in soil from mining areas in northwestern China.
Article in Environmental geochemistry and health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 contaminated with toxic elements from mining activities is a public health concern. In order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the status and potential risks of inorganic toxic elements in soil resulting from mining activities, Cu, Pb, Cr, Zn, Ni, As, and Cd were selected to evaluate a total of 42 soil samples collected from Gannan mining areas in northwestern China. The concentrations of As and Cd were much higher than their respective background values, while the concentrations of the other elements fluctuated around their background values. Results of combined multivariate statistical analyses and the distribution patterns of the individual pollutants imply that the toxic elements were originated from different sources even for one element in different sampling locations. The pollution index values indicated that As and Cd have a moderate to high pollution levels. The geo-accumulation indexes (I
