Distribution and seasonality of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the waters of the Negro river in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Population growth and urbanization have led to critical environmental challenges worldwide. Chemical pollutants, especially Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs) such as Cd (Cadmium), Cu (Copper), Zn (Zinc), Al (Aluminum) and Mn (Manganese), as well as macroelements like P (Phosphorus), affect physicochemical and ecological parameters, posing risks to both human health and biodiversity. This study evaluates the influence of seasonality on the concentration of these PTEs in the waters of the Negro River, Manaus, Amazonas. Sampling was conducted at 60 sites along the river in January 2023, September 2023, and March 2024. Sampling, storage, and analyses followed the procedures established in the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. Results revealed elevated mean Al and P concentrations (above 1250 µg/L and 250 µg/L, respectively), suggesting significant inputs of organic matter and surface urban pollution. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed distinct patterns in January, higher levels of Na, Mg, Ca, Al, P, Ti, Be, and Cu; in September, predominance of K, Rb, and Ba; and in March, Li and Fe. Contamination by PTEs is multifactorial: although seasonality is a key driver, other factors, such as urbanization, proximity to agricultural areas, and industrial discharges, strongly modulate water quality.
