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

Considerable amounts of heavy metals can be released through mining activities, and different heavy metals, such as Cd, Cu and Mo exhibit varying release behaviors from tailings and ores under similar conditions; therefore, the insight to their release risk for tailings, waste rock, and ores is crucial for developing protection strategies for mines. In this study, samples of tailings, ores, and surface water were collected from a high-latitude polymetallic mine in China to investigate the risk of heavy metal release. Relatively high concentrations of heavy metals such as Cd, Cu and Mo were found in tailings and some ores. However, tailings were classified as nonacid generation indicating a low release risk of heavy metals, and only some ore samples (DBS2, DBS3 and DBS5) with high concentrations of Cd, Cu and Mo were classified as acid generation. At low leaching pH, more Cd, Cu, and Fe were leached from tailings and DBS5 because of the dissolution of chalcopyrite. In contrast, elevated Mo concentrations in the leachate were observed under neutral and alkaline conditions (pH = 7 and 9), which can be attributed to the high adsorption capacity of MoO
