Soil pollution and elemental sources along Barapukuria coal mine, Bangladesh: Implications for eco-environmental and health risk assessment.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. 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
For the first time, different pollution indices and a receptor model have been used to quantify eco-environmental and health risk assessments as well as identify the sources of potentially toxic elements in soil along the Barapukuria Coal Mine (BCM). Individual indices include enrichment and contamination factors showing the soil samples are moderately to highly contaminated by arsenic, cobalt, chromium, copper, lead, and zinc and heavily contaminated by sulfur. According to the geo-accumulation index, there is significant pollution with arsenic (1.24 ± 0.38), lead (1.49 ± 0.58), cobalt (1.49 ± 0.58), and sulfur (1.63 ± 0.38). Modified hazard quotient and ecological risk factor values also suggest low to moderate environmental risk hazards from the same elements. The nemerow pollution index, pollution load index, nemerow risk index, ecological risk index, and toxic risk index of soil range from 1.65 to 3.03, 0.82-1.23, 11-26, 77-165, and 6.82-11.76 suggest low toxic risk and moderate pollution, among other synergistic indices. Health risk assessment indicates that iron poses lower cancer risk for children than adults, while both face unacceptable cancer risks from inhaling chromium, cobalt, or arsenic. Principal component and phylogenetic cluster analysis extracted by the multiple linear regression with the absolute principal component score (APCS-MLR) model refer to the fact that manganese, iron, titanium, and nickel have originated from geogenic sources, while coal mine effluents enrich elements like arsenic, chromium, zinc, lead, uranium, sulfur, thorium, and zinc and phosphorous sourced from agriculture. In addition, geogenic and anthropogenic sources, including mine and agriculture activities, could potentially pollute the soil and ecosystem. The findings are crucial for regional and national planners in devising strategies to mitigate potentially toxic element pollution in soil along coal mine areas.
