Assessment of metal enrichment and contamination in surface sediment of Mandovi estuary, Goa, West coast of India.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2021. 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
Metal concentration in the sediments was determined to assess the metal enrichment and level of contamination in the Mandovi estuary. The metal distribution in the Mandovi estuary revealed preferential input through open-cast iron-ore mining, industrial, fishing, and agricultural activities. The heavy riverine runoff associated with high rainfall influenced the distribution of Mn, Zn, and Pb during monsoon season. In addition, sediment grain size and associated organic matter governed metal distribution in surface sediments. The role of grain size and organic matter along with Fe-Mn oxides in the distribution of metals was construed through correlation and factor analysis. Geo-accumulation index, contamination factor, and potential contamination index indicated contamination of surficial sediments of the Mandovi estuary with Cr and Pb.
