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

To address the current lack of soil pollution investigations and the significant limitations in soil pollution tracing methods within the aluminum (AI) processing industry, this study profiles its pollution by using data from ten typical enterprises across China. Leveraging the team's prior soil source inventory approach (SIA), we established a comprehensive traceability system to enable precise source analysis. The results identified petroleum hydrocarbons (C10-C40) as priority pollutants. The two key contamination zones were production and solid waste storage/disposal areas, and the two major pollution pathways were solid waste leaching and wastewater leakage. The source analysis was validated in multiple dimensions, and the calculated total pollutant input (40.42 kg) exhibited a ˂20% deviation from the measured soil contamination (34.7 kg). The spatial distribution of the modeled pollutant inputs correlated reasonably well with the empirical data (R
