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
Kermanshah Province as an agricultural hub exports food crops to neighboring countries. In this study, contamination status, bioavailability, spatial distribution, and ecological and human health risk of arsenic and heavy metals (HMs) in soil were investigate. For this purpose, 121 agricultural soil samples were collected and analyzed using ICP-MS. The data were studied by calculating some geochemical indices, and using geographical information system and statistical analysis. Results showed that Cd has the highest bioavailability, following by Cu and As. Also, Cu was severely associated with organic matter. Enrichment factor (EF) followed the order of As > Cu > Pb > Se > Cd > Zn > Ni > Cr, and the soil pollution index (SPI) ranged from 0.82 to 2.65. Low potential ecological risk was measured for most of the samples. However, Kermanshah County and Eastern parts of the Province showed the highest HMs enrichment and ecological risk. Moreover, high carcinogenic risk of Cr and Ni threatens the children. Cr showed also high non-carcinogenic hazard index (HI) for children. Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated the anthropogenic origins for As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Se and Zn, while Cr and Ni originated mainly from a geogenic source. Furthermore, Kruskal-Wallis H test revealed that As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Se and Zn concentrations were significantly different (
