Health risk assessment of heavy metal concentrations in selected fish species from İznik Lake Basin, Turkey.
Article in Environmental monitoring and assessment, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Various wastes, especially heavy metals, which are introduced to water sources in an uncontrolled manner, accumulate in aquatic organisms in the food web. Through the consumption of fish and invertebrates, those contaminants reach humans. In response to rapid industrialization, the accumulation of heavy metals in fish adversely impacts human health. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accumulation of some heavy metals (Chromium, Cadmium, Mercury, Lead, Iron, Copper, Zinc, and Arsenic) among 11 fish species inhabiting in İznik Lake Basin (Turkey) that are threatened by anthropogenic pollution. Results showed significant differences among species with the accumulation of heavy metals (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05). Chromium, zinc, arsenic, and lead presented the highest contents in Capoeta tinca caught from Çakırca Stream. The contents of lead, copper, and zinc were higher than the guidelines of various authorities. The potential human health risk assessment was conducted by provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI). In Rutilus rutilus and Cyprinus carpio, the estimated weekly intake (EWI) for mercury was higher than the PTWI. The findings of this study are of great importance in terms of understanding the effect of fish consumption on human health in the heavy metal polluted area.
