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

In January 2019, a mining dam collapsed in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Numerous professionals from fire brigades from several states in Brazil and trained dogs worked to rescue the victims of this tragedy and maintained direct contact with the dam's tailings. To understand the consequences generated by this exposure, a cross-sectional observational study, heavy metals, cytokines and clinical signs were correlated, was carried out with the aim of identifying biological biomarkers and the presence of metals in trained dogs. Hair and serum samples from 30 rescue dogs from the Military Fire Brigade were used to analyze heavy metals, trace elements and cytokines. Among these, 20 dogs were exposed to tailings and 10 were not involved in mining disasters. Cadmium metal obtained a significant result (
