Health risk assessment and source tracking of heavy metal exposure from indoor settled dust in an environmentally vulnerable area of the Republic of Korea.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Accelerated urban and industrial expansion has intensified anthropogenic activities, increasing the emission and accumulation of hazardous substances in air, water, and soil. This study assessed health risks from heavy metals in indoor settled dust collected from Myodo-dong, Yeosu, Republic of Korea, by estimating exposure via inhalation, dermal contact, and ingestion, deriving protective exposure limits, and identifying emission sources using multivariate analysis. Indoor settled dust samples from 20 of 50 households showed elevated heavy metal concentrations, with zinc (Zn) having the highest mean level (4,912.01 µg/g). Ingestion was the dominant exposure route. Non-carcinogenic risks were within acceptable limits, while carcinogenic risks surpassed 1.0 × 10
