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

China is the world's largest producer and consumer of mineral resources. While large-scale development of metal mineral resources has supported rapid national economic development, it has also caused serious heavy metal pollution in soils in mining areas. This paper systematically reviews the latest research progress on heavy metal pollution in soils in mining areas, focusing on Chinese metal mining areas, covering pollution characteristics, source identification, risk assessment, and sustainable remediation technologies. Meta-analysis shows that smelting sources contribute more than 50% of soil Cd in southwestern Pb-Zn mining areas, making them priority targets for risk management. This review aims to provide theoretical support and decision-making references for precise source tracing, scientific assessment, and green remediation of heavy metal pollution affecting soils in Chinese metal mining areas.
