Assessment of heavy metal status and identification of source in soils under intensive vegetable growing areas of Brahmaputra valley, North East India.

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
This study investigated the content of Cd, Pb, Cr, and Ni in the soils of intensive vegetable growing areas of the Brahmaputra valley, North East India, to assess their status and detect any buildup of metals due to long-term and continuous application of agrochemicals and organic manures. The content of heavy metals was determined in eighty composite surface soil samples (0-20 cm) collected from eight different locations of the valley having a history of more than forty years of vegetable production. This finding is novel as no comprehensive investigation has been done till date in respect of the content of heavy metals in the intensive vegetable growing areas of Brahmaputra valley. The locations are considered free from any pollution caused by industrial effluent or urbanization processes. The investigational data showed that the content of Cd, Pb, Cr, and Ni in the soils ranged from 0.43 to 3.24, 6.00 to 22.90, 3.00 to 15.24, and 3.30 to 14.30 mg kg
