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

Understanding the extent of contamination due to climatic events in rural areas is necessary to protect environmental health, especially when these spaces disproportionately bear the burden of resource extraction. Using a Monte Carlo-based probabilistic assessment, this study investigates how wildfire and subsequent flooding influences As, Cd, Cu, Cr, Pb, Mn, Ni, and Zn exposure from non-residential sediment and residential soil and indoor/outdoor dust. Carcinogenic/cumulative target cancer risk (TCR) and noncarcinogenic/cumulative hazard index (HI) were evaluated across multiple exposure pathways and scenarios (residential, nonresidential) for children and adults in rural, Arizona communities. In residential settings, flooding significantly increased (p ≤ 0.05) Pb and Cu surface soil concentrations. In both populations, HI
