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

backgroundCombination stresses are the primary obstacle that plants encounter in nature. Consequently, there is an urgent need for environmentally sustainable solutions. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) constitute one such eco-friendly approach for promoting agricultural sustainability under heavy metals (HMs) contamination, drought, heat, and salinity stress conditions, owing to their well-documented role as biostimulants. Therefore, the present investigation aimed to assess the impact of combined HMs (Cr, Pb, and Cd; each at 100 mg L

resultsAMF colonization effectively mitigated this adverse effect, as evidenced by increases in shoot fresh weight (12.97%), total pigment (76.74%), relative water content (RWC, 10.98%), glycine betaine (GB, 21.04%), and phenolic content (15.68%). Conversely, a substantial decrease in stress markers was observed, including lipid peroxidation (MDA, 11.03%), H

conclusionThis method could be used to cultivate lettuce in contaminated locations by trapping HMs and Na
