1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Nowadays, heavy metal (HM) contamination and their ecological risk in coastal sediments are global issues. This research provides insight into the heavy metals' contamination, source apportionment, and potential ecological risks in the surface sediments of the Xiang-Shan wetland in Taiwan, which is undergoing rapid economic development, mainly by the semiconductor industries. The levels of twelve metals and total organic matter (TOM) were measured in 44 samples of surface sediment during the spring and winter seasons of 2022. Subsequently, the single and comprehensive pollution indices were assessed. The findings showed that the average of HM contents exhibited a descending sequence of Al > Fe > Mn > Zn > Co > Ga > Cr > Cu > In > Ni > Pb = Cd during both seasons. The E
