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

Heavy metal contamination in the soil and the subsequent accumulation in Brachystegia longifolia were investigated as a function of the wind direction and distance from a copper mine in Mufulira, Zambia. Soil and leaves of B. longifolia were collected along transects up to 12 km downwind and 19 km upwind. The total concentration of trace elements in the soil and leaves was determined through
