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

The distribution of 24 potentially hazardous elements (PHEs) was examined in sediments gathered from several Mediterranean coastal regions in Egypt. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) was used to analyze the samples. The lowest concentration of PHEs was recorded at 2492.95 µg/g at Salloum Station (Ia), whereas Sedi Krrir Station (X) recorded the maximum concentration at 5890.61 µg/g dry weight. The PHEs under investigation can be grouped as follows based on the highest average concentration: Ti > Fe > Al > Cu > Zn > Pb > Co > Mn > Ni > Cd > Cr. Several indicators were used to evaluate the contamination level for PHEs. Pollution indices, such as the enrichment factor (EF), geoaccumulation index (I
