Equitable cleanup of Superfund sites leaving no U.S. community behind.
Article in Nature communications, 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
Superfund sites are recognized as the most contaminated locations across the U.S. Here we introduce two metrics: (i) the disparity percentage, which quantifies the overrepresentation of vulnerable populations in proximity to Superfund sites, and (ii) the Superfund exposure score, which evaluates the population proportion in a geographical region affected by such proximity. We employ the metrics to develop an Action Priority Matrix (APM) categorizing states and regions into four tiers of cleanup priorities, informed by a spatial analysis of 13,453 Superfund sites across the U.S. About 80% of the U.S. population live within 10 km of at least one Superfund site, with nearly 60% of them residing in areas lacking any cleanup efforts. Asian, Black, and disadvantaged populations are found to be disproportionately overrepresented in Superfund host block groups. Seven states are identified for urgent cleanups using the proposed APM, providing a systematic approach to equitable resource allocation for cleanups.
