The Effect of Microwave Oven Extraction Temperature, Time, and Power Optimization on the Determination of Heavy Metals in Apricot by ICP-MS.
Review in ACS omega, 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 paper investigates the concentrations of heavy metals in apricots, which are widely consumed as food and may pose serious health risks when exceeding permissible limits. The elements analyzed included lead (Pb), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), selenium (Se), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg). The effects of microwave optimization digestion (MWOD) parameters, including temperature (tp), time (tm), and power (pw), on the extraction efficiency of these elements were systematically evaluated in apricot kernel (K), kernel shell (S), and flesh (F) samples. Microwave digestion was performed according to EPA Methods 3051A and 3052. Following digestion and complete solubilization, the concentrations of heavy metals were determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The highest concentrations of Cd and Hg in apricot flesh were found to be 25.49 μg kg
