Assessing Heavy Metals using ICP-MS in Fruits from the Developing World and their Associated Health Risks.
Article in Biological trace element research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
This study investigates heavy metal contamination across ten fruit varieties cultivated in Rampal and assesses the potential health risks associated with their consumption. Eight metals-Fe, Cu, Cd, Zn, Cr, Mn, Pb, and As were analyzed using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. Health risk indicators, including estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), hazard index (HI), and cumulative carcinogenic risk (CR), were employed. All EDI values were below the maximum tolerable daily intake (MTDI), and THQ values for Fe, Cu, Cd, Zn, Cr, Mn, and Pb remained under one, indicating low individual risk. However, arsenic (As) exceeded the THQ threshold (> 1) in ripe mango, green banana, and ripe jackfruit, raising localized health concerns. Notably, the total THQ (TTHQ) surpassed one across samples, suggesting combined exposure to these metals poses cumulative health risks. The HI value (3.49 × 10
