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

An assessment is made of published data on concentrations of four toxic trace elements arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and methyl mercury (MeHg) in seafood species from Algerian coastal waters. The data relate mainly to fish and mollusks, with Pb and Cd being the most studied elements. In contrast, no studies were found for As and MeHg in mollusks and crustaceans, and none for total Hg in crustaceans. Data analysis has shown that the element concentrations depend on the element analyzed, in particular its chemical form, and they vary with the species studied and the area where the organisms were sampled. As concentrations in muscle of sardine (Sardina pilchardus) from the eastern zone (Bejaia) (2.98 mg kg
