Seasonal dynamics of trace elements, sediment contamination, and child health risks in six Egyptian red sea ports: an integrated water-sediment-human health assessment.

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
Coastal port environments along the Red Sea-Suez Canal corridor face intensifying multi-stressor pressures, yet integrated seawater-sediment-human-health assessments of toxicologically distinct trace elements remain scarce. In this study, arsenic (As), selenium (Se), tin (Sn) and mercury (Hg) were quantified in surface seawater (n = 38) and surficial sediments (n = 19) across six Egyptian ports (Port Tawfiq, Zayteiat, Hurghada, Safaga, Nuweibaa and Sharm El-Sheikh). Six contamination and ecological-risk indices (CF, Igeo, PLI, MPI, Er and RI) were integrated with a USEPA-compliant human health risk assessment and multivariate source apportionment to disentangle natural and anthropogenic signatures. Dissolved As exhibited a pronounced and biogeochemically coherent seasonal inversion, with winter concentrations (8.82 ± 1.04 µg L
