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

Environmental pollution is a major global issue. Ports, heavy traffic, and the presence of industries increase this pollution in some megacities like Abidjan. This study assessed potentially toxic elements in aerosols and rainwater and estimated associated health risks in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. Aerosol and rainwater samples were collected in the communes of Cocody and Treichville during 2019 and 2020, taking into account the two main climatic seasons. Analysis of trace metal element (TME) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) levels revealed a dual origin both natural and anthropogenic for these pollutants in the environments studied with concentration between not determined (nd) and 0.056 ng·m
