1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Although heavy metal pollution has developed into a major global environmental problem, most research has focused on specific elements, especially arsenic (As) and selenium (Se), and on the health risks to people in polluted areas or by occupation. This study investigated the urine of 480 participants from Guangzhou with a population of 18 million and targeted nine heavy metals: As, Se, chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), antimony (Sb), and mercury (Hg). The heavy metals were widely detected, of which As, Se, Cd, and Pb all exceed 98%. Among the toxicants, As showed the highest concentration, followed by Se with 40.5 and 35.4 μg/L, respectively. The heavy metal levels from suburban subjects were generally higher than those in urban subjects (except for Sb), and the Cd level of males was lower than that of females. Concentrations were related to age, body mass index, alcohol consumption, and smoking. According to the health risk assessment, most subjects experienced potential non-carcinogenic risk from As, Cd, Se, and Hg, which accounted for 38.2%, 8.83%, 8.31%, and 3.38%, respectively. The carcinogenic risk of As and Cd surpassed the risk level of 10
