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

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), extensively used across multiple industries, has long been discussed for its potential to enhance heavy metal mobility in aquatic systems, with studies yielding contradictory results. This study examines the remobilization of particle-bound lead from suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the Innerste River (Lower Saxony, Germany), which is affected by historical mining and known for substantial Pb contamination. Using real river water containing its native SPM to preserve the chemical matrix of the system, we assessed Pb partitioning between total and dissolved phases to evaluate EDTA's remobilization potential. Baseline dissolved lead concentrations reached up to 1.8 µg L
