Probabilistic Human Risk Assessment of Potentially Toxic Elements in Planiliza klunzingeri and Sillago sihama Fish in Persian Gulf.
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. 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
Fish consumption is a vital source of nutrition worldwide, but contamination with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) poses significant health risks. This study aimed to assess the concentrations of PTEs (As, Cd, Cu, Co, Ni, Pb, Cr) in two commercially important fish species Planiliza klunzingeri (Day, 1888) and Sillago sihama (Fabricius, 1775) from the Persian Gulf and evaluate their potential health risks to consumers using a probabilistic approach. A total of 60 fish samples (30 per species) were collected between January and February 2025 from the Bandar Abbas fish market. Muscle tissues were analyzed for PTEs content using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). Health risks were assessed using a Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) model, which estimated chronic daily intake (CDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), hazard index (HI), and incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) for both adults and children. Lead (Pb) and nickel (Ni) were the most abundant metals in both species. Sillago sihama exhibited higher inorganic arsenic (iAs) levels (51.027 µg/kg-ww) compared to P. klunzingeri (38.212 µg/kg-ww), while the latter had elevated Cd, Cu, Co, Pb, and Cr concentrations. Probabilistic risk assessment indicated negligible non-carcinogenic risks (THQ and HI < 1). However, iAs contributed to a low carcinogenic risk, with 95th percentile ILCR values remaining within acceptable limits (< 1 × 10
