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

Jasmine flower cakes are particularly popular in China; however, they may contain heavy metals, posing health risks. We quantified heavy metals in jasmine flower cakes and assessed associated health risks. Al, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, and Pb in 40 samples were quantified via inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, revealing concentrations of 9.32, 0.012, 6.64, 0.296, 4.34, 0.002, 0.001, and 0.008 mg/kg, respectively. The detection rates were 100% except for Cd (82.50%) and As (67.50%). Cluster analysis categorised these metals into five groups: As/Cd, Al/Cr/Pb, Mn, Ni, and Cu. Although all samples exhibited mean health indices (HIs) < 1, nine samples (22.5%) exhibited HI > 1. The maximum HI was 2.261. The average estimated carcinogenic risk values were 27.00 × 10⁻
