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

Acid sulfate soils (ASS) are naturally occurring sediments rich in iron sulfides that, when exposed to oxygen, produce sulfuric acid, and mobilize toxic metals. Recent findings have identified acidic, metal-enriched layers in postglacial, organic-rich sediments in agricultural areas along the Swedish west coast. Although leaching from these soils into a nearby river system has been observed, the extent and downstream consequences remain poorly understood. This study investigates the environmental impact of ASS on a river-estuary system along the Swedish west coast, with a focus on metal mobility and ecological effects. To assess the environmental impact of ASS leachate, water quality parameters (pH and electrical conductivity) and metal concentrations were measured across a river-estuary gradient. Metal concentrations were also analyzed in sediment and biological tissues, and an ecological survey of aquatic flora, fauna, and microbial communities in the sediment was conducted. Additionally, a laboratory toxicity test was conducted on the freshwater amphipod
