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

Canned vegetables are widely consumed due to their convenience, making the measurement of both toxic and essential elements crucial for food safety evaluation. In this study, fourteen elements were analyzed in canned vegetable samples using the ICP‑OES method. These included toxic elements (Hg, Ni, Al, As, Cd, and Pb) and essential elements (K, Na, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Zn, and Se). Moreover, a health risk assessment (covering both carcinogenic and non‑carcinogenic risks) was performed for children and adults based on per capita consumption using the Monte Carlo method. The results showed that among the toxic elements, aluminum had the highest mean concentration (417 ± 52.4 µg/kg), while mercury was not detected (ND) in any sample. For essential elements, potassium exhibited the highest mean level (4627 ± 1466 mg/kg), whereas selenium had the lowest (10.9 ± 5.37 mg/kg). Overall, the concentrations of both toxic and essential elements were below the established safety standards for those elements for which such standards exist in Iran and other international organizations. Probabilistic risk assessments demonstrated that the cumulative estimated daily intake (EDI), incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR), and target hazard quotient (THQ) for the analyzed toxic metals posed no significant health risks to Iranian consumers under either the average or maximum exposure scenarios (THQ ≤ 1, ILCR ≤ 10
