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

The increasing demand for plant-based cosmetics and personal care products (CPCPs) has raised concerns regarding trace element contamination stemming from agricultural practices and industrial pollution. In this study, 39 plant-based CPCPs, including deodorants, sunscreens, face creams, lip moisturizers, body lotions, and insect repellents, were analyzed to determine the concentration of 14 trace elements (Al, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, As, Se, Mo, Cd, Hg, and Pb) using microwave-assisted digestion and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The method demonstrated excellent linearity (
