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

Sediment is the sink of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in aquatic systems. The pollution of ARGs in sediments is becoming severe and complicated. However, the relationships between heavy metals/antibiotics with ARGs in sediments are unclear. Thus, we collected river sediment samples to investigate the effects of 18 antibiotics/8 heavy metal (loid)s on ARGs' contamination. Results showed that tetracycline, lipopeptide and sulfonamide were 100% detection, where tetracyclines were the most abundant, ranging from 44 ng/g to 408 ng/g dw. Meanwhile, arsenic, zinc, and cadmium were the most seriously contaminated with the concentrations of 4-812 mg/kg, 155-6158 mg/kg, 0.1-23 mg/kg, respectively. The abundance of ARGs (
