Evaluation of potentially toxic elements and pharmaceutical compounds in leachate and exhaust air from non-incineration medical waste treatment devices.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 assessed the health risks and toxicity of compounds found in the leachate and exhaust air of non-incineration devices used for hospital waste management. Specifically, it measured the levels of potentially toxic elements and pharmaceutical compounds in two disinfection waste treatment devices-hydroclave with shredder (device A) and autoclave without shredder (device B)-at a hospital in Tehran, Iran. Sampling occurred from October 2022 to March 2023. potentially toxic elements were analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), while cytotoxicity was evaluated with an ELISA reader.The results indicated that the exhaust air from device A contained high concentrations of barium (9.80 ± 1.60 µg/m
