Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals (Pb, Cd, Hg) in Hydroalcoholic Gels of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.
Article in Biological trace element research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Despite the high consumption of hydroalcoholic gels worldwide and particularly in Côte d'Ivoire since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, very few studies have measured the heavy metal content and human exposure in this product. Thus, 30 samples from supermarkets in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, were collected for the study of risk assessment of exposure to heavy metals contained in hydroalcoholic gels. This study consists of the characterization of the danger by calculating the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk by skin contact. Almost all samples analysed contain trace of lead, cadmium and mercury but at concentrations below the Canadian limit in cosmetic products applied to the skin and below the US FDA limit as an impurity in colour additives used in cosmetic products. The mean values of chronic daily intake via dermal absorption (CDIdermal) for adults were found in the order of mercury > lead > cadmium. The health risk estimation indicated that the mean total hazard quotient for dermal adsorption (HIdermal) obtained is 7.10 × 10
