Assessment of Heavy Metal Levels and Associated Health Risks Linked to Vegetables Grown in Noakhali Region of Bangladesh.
Article in Environmental health insights, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This Study quantified heavy metal contamination in commonly consumed vegetables Eggplant, String Beans, Cucumber, Sweet Potato, Bitter Gourd, Lady Finger, Pumpkin, Indian Spinach, Wax Gourd and in the soils where they are grown, obtained from the 9 integrated farm in Noakhali, Bangladesh. It also assessed the potential human health risks linked to dietary exposure to these contaminated vegetables. Vegetable and soil samples were randomly collected, prepared using standard procedures, and analyzed for metal concentrations using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Among the analyzed vegetables, Bitter Gourd, Lady Finger and Pumpkin exhibited the greatest accumulation of heavy metals (As, Pb, Cd, Cr, Fe, and Cu) and the estimated average daily intake of lead and cadmium through vegetable consumption was found to be 2.4128, 0.3644 mg/person/day, surpassed the permissible limits established by the FAO/WHO. The cancer risk value of lead content in Bitter Gourd, Lady Finger & Pumpkin was 1.37 × 10
