Levels of some heavy metals in the tissues of cestode
Article in Open veterinary journal, 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
Background: In recent years, parasitic helminths and their fish hosts have been used as a biomonitoring tool to indicate the status of ecosystems and their relationship with human health. Aim: This work aims to evaluate and use the potential ability of the cestode Methods: Twenty-eight live fish were caught from the Tigris River passing through Rashidiya and Sharikhan sites in Mosul city, Iraq, during March 2024. The concentrations of Zn and Fe in the cestode tissues, gills, liver, intestines, and muscles of infected and uninfected fish were determined using an atomic absorption spectrometer. Results: The results showed that the ratio of accumulation of Fe and Zn in the cestode tissues to their host tissues was 1:0.622 and 1:0.616, respectively. In both uninfected and infected fish, the Zn levels were in the following order: gills > liver > intestine > muscles, while Fe levels were in the order liver > gills > intestine > muscles. Although the Fe concentrations were higher than the Zn in all samples that were analyzed, the values of Average Pollution Load Index were < 1, and they were within the permissible limits according to Food and Agriculture Organization and WHO. Conclusion: Thecestode
