Levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons around a scrap iron and steel recycling industry and the associated health risk assessment.
Article in RSC advances, 2025. 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
The recycling of iron and steel is among the booming sectors in the Sub-Saharan countries of Africa. However, these industries generate different air pollutants due to inadequate control devices and a lack of monitoring by government control agencies. In this study, the levels of ambient air concentration and distribution of PAHs around a steel and iron scrap melting industry were investigated. Health indices including the incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) and hazard quotient (HQ) were utilized to access the potential health effects of human exposure to PAHs in the ambient air surrounding this facility. The PAHs in the ambient air were collected using passive samplers in accordance with the procedures outlined in the South Pacific Regional Project's Annex 3. The quantification of PAHs was done using GC-MS. The results showed that the ∑ PAHs ranged from 49.6 to 530.1 pg m
