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

This study evaluated total mercury (THg) distribution and accumulation in soil, litter, and surface-active soil invertebrates at the Águas Emendadas Ecological Station (ESECAE), a savanna reserve in central Brazil. We assessed whether THg differed between soil and litter; whether soil pH and organic matter influenced soil THg, the degree of THg accumulation in invertebrates relative to soil and litter; whether feeding habits structured epigeic soil fauna according to THg concentrations; and whether biomagnification could be inferred within the local trophic network. THg concentrations were significantly higher in litter (51.7 ± 5.6 ng g⁻
