Potential Health Risks from Heavy Metal in Green Mussels (Perna Viridis) From the Southeastern Part of the Bay of Bengal.

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
The Southeastern part of the Bay of Bengal is increasingly threatened by heavy metal pollution, posing significant risks to both aquatic life and human health. In this context, the contamination levels of six heavy metals-Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), and Iron (Fe)-were assessed in the soft tissues of Green mussels (Perna viridis) from five key sites: Matamuhuri, Moheshkhali, Bakhkhali, Naf, and St. Martin. The aim was to assess the public health risks associated with the consumption of these mussels. The metal concentrations detected across the sites were as follows: Cd ranged from 0.65 to 2.99 μg/g, Pb from 1.20 to 4.00 μg/g, Zn from 20.16 to 117.17 μg/g, Cu from 3.52 to 23.21 μg/g, Mn from 10.34 to 63.36 μg/g, and Fe from 104 to 1102 μg/g. The assessments conducted include the Estimated Daily Intake (EDI), Target Hazard Quotient (THQ), Hazard Index (HI), and Carcinogenic Risk (CR) for evaluating both non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health impacts. Consumers were classified as Average-Level Mussel consumers (ALM) and High-Level Mussel consumers (HLM) based on consumption rates to estimate the health risks for different exposure levels. The results showed that Bakhkhali exhibited the highest concentrations of Cd and Pb, surpassing the safety limits, with a CR value (6.76E-04, 2.02E-05) indicating a heightened cancer risk for HLM. St. Martin, on the other hand, was identified as the safest site, with metal concentrations within permissible limits.
