Comprehensive assessment of heavy metal (HMs) contamination and associated health risks in agricultural soils and groundwater proximal to industrial sites.
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 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Industrial waste significantly impacts water and soil quality, restricting their suitability for agricultural and domestic use. This study investigates the distribution of heavy metals (HMs) in groundwater and soils across the Shazand plain under different irrigation methods and rainfed farming systems. It evaluates the Total Hazard Quotient (THQ) and Carcinogenic Risk (TCR) associated with HMs for both children and adults, considering exposure through ingestion, dermal contact, and inhalation. A total of 104 samples were collected, comprising water samples from wells and boreholes, and soil samples. Concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Hg, Zn, and Cu were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrometry, and the data were assessed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The highest average concentrations of HMs in groundwater samples were observed for Cr (19 µg l
