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

Mercury (Hg) is a toxic and nonessential metal for living organisms, and its environmental contamination poses a global concern. Gold mining is one of the primary sectors responsible for mercury emissions, which contributes significantly to ecosystem pollution. In this study, the natural regeneration of vegetation was evaluated at seven mining sites with varying periods of inactivity, and the accumulation of mercury in plant species was analyzed. Random plots were established at each site, where species were identified and selected to determine mercury concentrations in their tissues and calculate bioconcentration (BCF), translocation (TF), and accumulation (AF) factors. A total of 2505 individuals were identified from 46 species and 20 families, with a predominance of herbaceous species. The most widely distributed species, found at more than four study sites, included Homolepis aturensis, Andropogon bicornis, Clidemia capitellata, Tonina fluviatilis, Pityrogramma calomelanos, Cespedesia spathulata, and Fuirena robusta. The total mercury (THg) concentrations varied, ranging from 29.0 to ~ 21,500 ng g
