ICP-MS based seasonal and spatiotemporal evaluation of potentially toxic and major elements in surface waters of Akdağ National Park, Türkiye.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
Understanding how potentially toxic and major elements (PTMEs) vary in freshwater systems is essential for evaluating environmental and public health risks. This study explored the seasonal and spatial variations of PTMEs in the surface waters of Akdağ National Park, Türkiye, using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).Water samples were collected from nine stations across four seasons and analyzed using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Among the trace elements, Fe, Mn, and Al ranged from 120-460 µg/L, 15-310 µg/L, and 70-380 µg/L, respectively, while Pb and As remained low (1.2-8.4 µg/L and 2.3-6.1 µg/L), all within international safety limits. In contrast, Ca and Mg concentrations (18-72 mg/L and 3.5-12 mg/L) mainly reflected local geological conditions rather than contamination. Spatial interpolation (IDW) within a GIS framework indicated slightly higher PTME levels at certain locations compared with less affected sites. Overall, the results provide the first spatiotemporal baseline of PTMEs for this protected area, emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring to support sustainable water resource management and ecosystem conservation.
