Microtopography and Seasonal Soil Moisture Govern Methylmercury Dynamics in Upland Soils of a Subtropical Coastal Montane Watershed.
Article in ACS omega, 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
Vegetated landscapes are widely known as important sinks of mercury (Hg) but the controls on the production of neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) in terrestrial upland ecosystems remain unresolved, particularly at fine spatial scales. In this study, we investigated the distribution of total Hg (THg) and MeHg in surface soils across an elevational gradient in a subtropical coastal montane watershed separately in dry and wet seasons at Hong Kong of southern China. Mean surface soil THg was the highest in the lower-elevation forest zone and at lower levels in the middle- and upper-elevation shrubland/grassland zones. Topsoil (0-4 cm) MeHg increased from dry to wet season at lower-elevation forest sites and decreased or changed little at most upper-elevation sites, although site-level elevation-zone contrasts were not statistically significant after false-discovery-rate adjustment. At the site level (
