Occurrence and Detection Profiles of Technology-Critical Elements (Ga, Ge, Nb, Ta and W) in Wild Mushrooms from Leicester and Leicestershire, UK.
Article in Toxics, 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
Technology-critical elements are increasingly used in electronics, renewable-energy systems, high-performance alloys and other strategic technologies, yet their occurrence in wild fungi remains poorly characterised. This study evaluated gallium (Ga), germanium (Ge), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta) and tungsten (W) in wild mushrooms collected from Leicester and Leicestershire, UK. The dataset was reconstructed at fruiting-body level to avoid pseudo-replication from paired cap and stem records, yielding 121 analytical units. Results were corrected using digestion-date acid blanks, interpreted against analytical-portion-specific working limits of detection and classified as fully quantified (FQ), partially censored (PC) or fully censored (FC). Ga was FQ in 106/121 units and was the only element with sufficient quantitative coverage for continuous distributional estimation; its regression-on-order-statistics median was 475.48 ng g
