Assessment of Heavy Metal Accumulation in Soils and Dominant Agricultural Crops in an Industrial Environment of Ridder, East Kazakhstan Region.
Article in Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Mining and metallurgical activities are among the main sources of heavy metal (HM) contamination of terrestrial ecosystems and the creation of persistent technogenic pollution hotspots. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the accumulation of zinc (Zn), cooper (Cu), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in soils and vegetation under conditions of long-term industrial impact in Ridder, East Kazakhstan Region. A total of 52 soil samples were collected from 0-5 cm and 5-20 cm depths at 26 sites, and 44 species of natural vegetation, as well as three dominant agricultural crops, were examined. Soil concentrations of Zn (4415 mg·kg
