Assessment of Chromium Contamination in Aquatic Environments near Tannery Industries: A Portuguese Case Study.
Article in Toxics, 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
Environmental contamination from industrial activities remains a significant concern, with tanneries being major contributors of chromium (Cr) to aquatic systems. Cr, a heavy metal with multiple oxidation states, varies in toxicity and poses risks to both ecosystems and human health. In Portugal, the Alcanena region is particularly affected, hosting around 60 tanning industries. This study assessed total Cr levels in water from the Alviela River and Carvalho Stream, with particular focus on the impact of a local wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) that processes tannery effluents. Water samples were collected upstream and downstream of the WWTP discharge point. Analytical techniques included graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, with a detection limit of 0.33 µg L
