Analysis of heavy metal characteristics and health risks of edible mushrooms in the mid-western region of China.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 determined the content of metal elements (As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb) in 9 edible mushrooms using ICP-MS, and evaluated the harm of long-term consumption of edible mushrooms to human health. The results showed that the concentrations of metal elements decreased in the order of Cd > As > Cr > Pb > Hg in edible mushrooms. The concentrations of Cd, As, Pb, and Hg were 22.95%, 8.20%, 1.64%, and 3.28% higher, respectively, than the maximum standards in China, whereas Cr did not exceed the limit. The detection rate of metal elements in Morchella esculenta (L.) Pers (M. esculenta), and Agaricus blazei Murill (A. blazei) were relatively high. The results of single factor evaluation and target hazard coefficient (THQ, HI) indicated that Dictyophora indusiata (Vent.ex Pers) Fisch (D. indusiata), A. blazei and M. esculenta were the main sources of risk. In addition, the HI values in ascending order were: Pb (0.43) < Cr (0.68) < Hg (0.92) < Cd (7.21) < As (14.02), indicating that Cd and As were the primary sources of health risks in edible mushrooms. To ensure food safety, it is recommended to strengthen the supervision of edible mushrooms, make reasonable choices, and reduce exposure levels of heavy metal pollution.
