Heavy metal contamination in tampons: A hidden public health concern.
Article in Environmental analysis, health and toxicology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Tampons usage is being practiced worldwide as safe for menstrual protection. However, studies have shown the presence of certain heavy metals possessing feminine health risk due to absorptive capacity of vaginal epithelium leading to certain health consequences i.e. neurological, renal and reproductive disorders. In this regard, necessary measures are required to be taken like public health initiatives, education campaigns, regular screening and the use of chelators to remove heavy metals from the body. The regulatory authorities are urged to implement safety standards for tampon manufacturing processed and ensure transparent labeling of ingredients. By adapting these measures, the feminine health and tampon safety can be protected.
