Potential health risks assessment cognate with selected heavy metals contents in some vegetables grown with four different irrigation sources near Lahore, Pakistan.

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
Carcinogenic and health hazard causing heavy metals have been increasing in our dietary stuffs due to large amount of industrial effluents being dumped in water bodies that are ultimately used for irrigation purposes. The study was aimed to assess and compare the mean concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, As and Pb) in soil and vegetables irrigated with four different sources (Ground water, river water, domestic sewage water and industrial untreated effluents and domestic waste water receiving drains) for the estimation of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risk associated with them. Prepared samples were analyzed by through ICP-OES. Statistical analysis revealed that domestic sewage water and drains water usage for irrigation purposes leads to high values of Estimated Daily Intake (EDI) of metals through vegetation. To assess the carcinogenic effects values daily intakes, Total hazard quotients (THQs) and Health indexes (HI), while for carcinogenic effects, Total cancer risks (TCR) were determined. The results of present study revealed that the daily intakes of these metals are far less than that of permissible levels but their bio-accumulating behavior produce high risks to human health. The HI values revealed that waste water usage is producing the vegetables of high health risks. In adults, the HI of
