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

To investigate the influence of mercury (Hg) mining/smelting on the surrounding soil environment, ninety soil samples were collected around Hg mining/smelting areas in Tongren city, Guizhou Province, Southwest China. The total mercury (THg), methylmercury (MeHg), bioavailability and fractions of Hg in the soil and their potential risk were evaluated. The results showed that Hg mining/smelting significantly increased the soil pH and decreased the soil organic matter content (p < 0.05). The THg content in the surrounding soil was much higher than that at the control site, with almost all the samples exceeding the national standard in China (3.4 mg/kg, GB15618-2018). Similarly, the concentrations of MeHg (0.09-2.74 μg/kg) and bioavailable Hg (0.64-62.94 μg/kg) in these soil samples were also significantly higher than those in the control site. However, the MeHg/THg ratio was significantly lower in mining/smelting influenced soils (0.01-0.68%) than in control soils (0.60-3.72%). Fraction analysis revealed that residual (RES-Hg) and organic matter-bounded (OM-Hg) Hg accounted for more than 50% of the THg. Ecological risk assessment revealed that the potential ecological risk for most of the Hg mining/smelting-influenced soils (30.16 ≤ E
