Relationship between heavy metals and alpha emission rates in breast milk and blood of women.
Article in Heliyon, 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
backgroundThe current study determines the relationship between heavy metals and alpha particles emission rates in milk and blood of lactating women in Diwanyah, Iraq.
methodsHeavy metals and alpha particle emission rates have been measured using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and a Nuclear Track Detector.
resultsThe results show that Pb, Cd, and Cu in milk are 0.2239 ± 0.0007 ppm, 0.0156 ± 0.0001 ppm, and 0.1811 ± 0.0006 ppm, respectively. Pb, Cd, and Cu in the blood were 0.0898 ± 0.0008 ppm, 0.0432 ± 0.0010 ppm, and 0.1729 ± 0.0004 ppm, respectively. The highest alpha particle emission rate was found to be in age interval from 23 y to 28 y in milk, while the highest alpha particle emission rate was found to be in the age interval from 35 y to 40 y.
conclusionsThis study concludes that no statistical significance between Pb, Cd, Cu and Eα in milk and blood at level 0.01. The following order of bioavailability was found with heavy metals Cu < Pb < Cd.
