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

We quantified the ecological risks posed by cadmium (Cd) in Baiyangdian Lake (BYDL) sediments, and established region-specific sediment quality criteria (SQC) and risk thresholds, using an approach that combined benthic bioassays with an improved version of the equilibrium partitioning (EqPA) method that incorporated acid volatile sulfide (AVS)-bound and residual fraction correction terms. The resulting SQC for Cd in BYDL sediments was 9.01 mg/kg, which was substantially higher than other threshold effects level (2.58 mg/kg) and is attributable to the suppression of Cd bioavailability by AVS in the sediments (average logKp = 3.86). Furthermore, we conducted a 21-day exposure experiment using the native bivalve
