Neurodevelopmental impact of mining-related contamination in children from the Sonora river basin.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Introduction: In August 2014, the Buenavista del Cobre mine in northern Mexico released over 40,000 m Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 238 children aged 5-13 years: 215 from mining-impacted communities and 23 from the non-exposed control community of Álamos. Children completed selected BANETA neuropsychological subtests (e.g., attention, academic skills, motor coordination), while caregivers completed the BRIEF-P, Parenting Practices Inventory (IPC), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA-SF), and a biological risk screening based on the Child Development Assessment (EDI). Standardized Results: Children from exposed communities showed significantly greater executive functioning difficulties, particularly in behavioral, emotional, and cognitive regulation. BANETA scores revealed lower attention, more omission errors, and poorer writing and motor performance. Executive deficits were significantly associated with lower nutritional status and greater biological risk. Punitive parenting practices correlated with poorer regulation, while supportive parenting was linked to better academic performance. Discussion: These findings support a multifactorial model where environmental, biological, and psychosocial stressors interact to adversely affect child development. Results underscore the need for integrated public health strategies, combining environmental remediation, educational support, nutrition, and caregiver-focused interventions in vulnerable communities.
