Accumulation of heavy metals by Avicennia marina in the highly saline Red Sea coast.

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
Phytoremediation of eight metals in mangrove forests was investigated by focusing on Avicennia marina at three locations along the Egyptian Red Sea coast. Average concentrations of metals in sediment followed the sequence Fe > Mn > Zn > Pb > Cr > Cu > Ni, while Cd was below the detection limit. Metal pollution index and enrichment factor indicated contamination of sediment by Pb, Cu, and Mn. Translocation factors from roots to seeds and leaves were highest for Cd and Mn, respectively, while bioaccumulation factors showed the highest absorptivity of Ni by roots to seeds and leaves organs. The variety in metals mobility and bioaccumilation may be attributed to the physicochemical properties of metals that affect their solubility and bioavailability. Multivariable analysis indicated the contribution of water and sediment characteristics to metal absorption. The study presents that the integrating approach of water, sediment, and plants may be a cornerstone for better recognizing the mangrove environment.
