Element Concentrations in Muscle and Liver Tissue of Two Eel Species from the Incomati River, Mozambique.
Article in Bulletin of environmental contamination and toxicology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Many rural communities in Mozambique get their income from fisheries, as well as consume fish as an inexpensive source of protein. In Mozambique, fish consumption from small-scale fisheries dependent families can range between 60 and 150 kg/person/year. Anguillid eels have important social value to vulnerable local communities in the Incomati Basin. Anguillid eels in the lower Incomati Basin are targeted for consumption, as well as cultural rituals by traditional healers. The aim of the present study was to determine trace element concentrations in environmental matrices, bioaccumulation patterns in muscle and liver tissue of two Anguilla species (Anguilla mossambica and Anguilla marmorata), as well as the chronic health risk these elements pose to regular consumers in the lower Incomati River. Bioaccumulation of elements from the water had a higher effect on both muscle and liver tissues, where only the bioaccumulation of Pb in the sediments played a major role. From the human health risk assessment, Hg pose non-carcinogenic risk, whereas As, Cr, and Ni pose carcinogenic risks.
