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

This study explored the effects of soil restoration on cadmium (Cd) body burden and renal tubular damage in inhabitants of Cd-polluted areas by estimating the lifetime Cd (LCd) intake and expected LCd intake without soil restoration. In total, 1819 participants (991 men and 828 women) were included in the analysis. Furthermore, 845 participants (503 men and 342 women) who had lived in Cd-polluted areas before soil restoration were selected to estimate LCd intake with and without soil restoration. LCd intake was estimated based on residential history and rice Cd concentrations in each area. First morning urine samples were collected for urinary Cd (U-Cd, as the Cd body burden) and β2-microglobulin (as the renal tubular marker) measurements. The mean LCd intake was 3.0 g for men and 2.6 g for women in Cd-polluted areas with soil restoration. The mean expected LCd intake without soil restoration was 5.1 g for men and 4.6 g for women, indicating that soil restoration reduced LCd intake by approximately 2 g for both sexes. Soil restoration significantly reduces LCd intake, Cd body burden, and renal tubular effects. This information is crucial for developing strategies to reduce Cd exposure worldwide.
