The hazards of metal exposure mediated by crops to human health from perspective of environmental health and control strategies.
Review in iScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Heavy metal pollution, driven by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural intensification, poses a significant threat to ecosystem security and human health. This review examines soil-to-crop-to-human transfer pathways of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), and chromium (Cr), covering their environmental behavior, crop accumulation, and toxicological impacts (neurotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and carcinogenicity). We discuss plant molecular stress responses (oxidative damage, enzyme disruption, and genetic alteration) and synthesize integrated control strategies including source control, soil remediation, agronomic management, and medical interventions. Emerging technologies (nanomaterials, phytoremediation, AI monitoring) are highlighted. We emphasize the importance of a holistic "source-process-risk-population" approach to effectively reduce heavy metal exposure via crops. This work aims to support environmental improvement, sustainable agriculture, and public health protection, contributing to national and global goals for food safety and human well-being.
