Characteristics, sources and risk assessments of heavy metal pollution in soils of typical chlor-alkali residue storage sites in northeastern China.
Article in PloS one, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In this study, thirty-four soil samples from a typical chlor-alkali slag residue storage site near the city of Qiqihar in northeastern China were collected and their arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, nickel, lead and zinc concentrations were determined. Sources of these heavy metals were analyzed with a positive matrix factorization model, and the health risks associated with different pollution sources were calculated. The results showed that mercury was the main heavy metal pollutant at the site (maximum concentration of 112.19 mg.kg-1) and the soil was also contaminated with arsenic, copper and lead. The sources of eight heavy metals were: mixed oil refinery wastewater and parent material (arsenic, chromium, copper and lead), vinyl chloride waste source (mercury), parent material (cadmium, nickel and zinc). The average potential ecological risk of the soil was 22344.39, with vinyl chloride waste source contributing 99.85% of this risk. The average carcinogenic risk of a mixture of oil refinery wastewater and parent material for children and adults was 9.06×10-6 and 6.36×10-6, respectively, accounting for 99.9% (children) and 99.48% (adults) of the total average carcinogenic risk. The average hazard index of vinyl chloride waste source for children and adults was 0.6 and 0.38, respectively, which accounted for 64.13% (children) and 52.34% (adults) of the total hazard index. These results provide a reference for soil pollution risk assessments at this type of site.
