Potentially toxic elements concentrations in schoolyard soils in the city of Coronel, Chile.
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 2 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
Urban areas are constantly growing. By 2050, the urban world population, it is predicted to reach 6 billion. Being component of cities environment, urban soils have elevated levels of potentially toxic elements from anthropogenic action. The aims of this study are (1) to establish background levels of potentially toxic element in soils in the city of Coronel and (2) to assess the pollution and identify its origin. Samples (129 in total) were collected in Coronel, from 43 sites in schoolyards. Three samples were taken at each site: 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm and 150 cm depth. Principal component analysis (PCA), cluster analysis (CA) and depth ratios were applied to distinguish the origin of the contamination. The geoaccumulation index, contamination factor and the integrated pollution index were used to estimate the pollution. The median concentration of the chemical elements in 0-10 cm depth was Ba 38 mg kg
