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

Scalp hair offers a non-invasive matrix for retrospective paediatric biomonitoring, although interpretation is complicated by endogenous incorporation, exogenous deposition and element-specific analytical detectability. We characterised B, Ca, Co, Fe, Li, Mg, Mo, Ni and Se in archived scalp hair collected in 2001 from 120 children aged 6-9 years and 97 adolescents aged 13-16 years residing in urban-industrial Alcalá de Henares, Spain. Samples were analysed in 2025 by ICP-MS using a common quality-controlled analytical workflow, with left-censored observations evaluated using censoring-aware methods. B and Li were highly censored (89.2-94.8% and 86.7-99.0%, respectively), whereas Fe, Mg, Mo and Se were consistently quantified. Adolescents showed higher median Ca (325 vs. 168 µg g
