Arsenic and Cadmium in Cigar Fillers: A Comparative Study within Cigar Types and with Cigarettes.

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
Cigar use has increased since the early 1990s; however, there is limited research on the quantity of carcinogenic metals such as arsenic and cadmium in cigars in general and especially within each of the numerous cigar types. The levels of cadmium and arsenic present in the tobacco filler of 67 little cigars, 21 cigarillos, and 19 large cigars were quantitatively analyzed using "triple-quad" inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Median arsenic concentrations in little cigars, cigarillos (medium-sized cigars), and large cigars were 0.219, 0.224, and 0.193 μg/g, respectively. For cadmium, the median concentration in little cigars was 1.21 μg/g while both cigarillos and large cigars had median cadmium concentrations of 1.32 μg/g. Median arsenic and cadmium concentrations on a per gram basis differed significantly across cigar types (Kruskal-Wallis, both
