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

Topography can significantly influence the atmospheric deposition of heavy metals on the surface soil and further shape their spatial distribution. This study was carried out in Northwestern Guizhou Province, a key agricultural region contaminated with cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) in agricultural soil. In this study, geographical detectors were employed to quantitatively assess the impact of topography on the spatial distribution of Cd, Pb, and Zn in surface soils. Moreover, the influence of topography on the spatial distribution of Cd, Pb, and Zn in the surface soil was further ascertained using geographical detectors. The results demonstrated that the bulk atmospheric deposition fluxes of Cd in Dawan (DW), Dongfeng (DF), Jinzhong (JZ), Shuanglong (SL), and Heishitou (HST) were 1.538, 0.766, 0.802, 0.365, and 0.186 mg m
