An integrated GIS-pXRF approach assesses ecological and human health risks from heavy metals in county level soils.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Counties in China are the primary components of small and mid-sized city (SMC), and at the core of China's future urbanization and industrialization development. Land is an essential nature resource providing the basis for urban-rural development, which is directly influenced by anthropogenic processes and in turn has impacts on human health. Clarifying the distribution characteristics and causes of heavy metals (HMs) pollution in soils is key to ensuring human health, as well as promoting land sustainability at county-level. In order to efficiently identify high risk regions of HMs pollution, this study proposed a geographic information system (GIS)-portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF)-based approach to measure local soil background of HMs and to screen high risk regions in Shangzhou, China. ICP-MS and pXRF results showed a good agreement of Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb and As with R
