Pharmaceutical Residues in Sediments of a Coastal Lagoon in Northwest Mexico-Occurrence and Environmental Risk Assessment.
Article in Journal of xenobiotics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Contamination of marine ecosystems by pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) deserves more research since their environmental fate differs from that observed in freshwater systems. However, knowledge remains scarce, especially in semi-arid coastal regions of the Global South. This study investigates the occurrence and distribution of caffeine, carbamazepine, ciprofloxacin, and sulfamethoxazole in sediments from the La Paz lagoon, a coastal system in a semi-arid region of Mexico with inverse estuarine conditions. Samples of superficial sediments (0-5 cm depth) were collected from 18 sampling points distributed through the lagoon, encompassing sites heavily polluted by discharges of municipal sewage and 3 potentially pristine sites far from the urban and peri-urban zones. Also, a 25 cm length sediment core was taken and divided into 1 cm sub-samples to determine the deposition of target PhACs in the sediment bed through time. The extraction of the target PhACs was performed through the accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) technique and quantification was achieved using a validated HPLC-MS/MS analytical method. The concentration of caffeine, carbamazepine, ciprofloxacin, and sulfamethoxazole in superficial sediment oscillated in the range of 1 to 45 ng g
