Investigation Into Environmental Selenium and Arsenic Levels and Arseniasis Prevalence in an Arsenic-Affected Coal-Burning Area.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
This study aims to explore whether selenium (Se) concentration correlates with arseniasis in a high-arsenic coal area in the southern Shaanxi Province, China. Herein, an epidemiological investigation was conducted among 100 arsenic (As)-poisoned patients in Ziyang County, an area with high soil As and Se levels. Fifty healthy subjects were selected from areas without endemic As poisoning. The subjects in the high-As coal area were diagnosed with either normal, suspicious, mild, moderate, or severe As poisoning. Local coal, water, soil, corn, and pepper samples, as well as hair, blood, and urine samples of subjects and patients were collected and analyzed for their As and Se contents. The contents of As and Se in coal, soil, corn, pepper, and hair samples from Ziyang County were significantly higher than those in the control area. The As content of hair in Ziyang County positively correlated with As poisoning, whereas the Se content of hair and urine negatively correlated with As poisoning. The Se content in the body was negatively correlated with the degree of As poisoning, indicating that Se may accelerate the metabolism and decumulation of As and antagonize As toxicity.
