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

A pot experiment was performed to investigate the variations in cadmium (Cd) accumulation among pak choi cultivars and its relationships to root morphology. The biomass, Cd accumulation and root morphology of 20 pak choi cultivars were determined in low and high Cd treatments. Significant variations in Cd accumulation and root morphological parameters were observed between pak choi cultivars. Cd concentrations in shoots differed between cultivars by a factor of 2.3 (13.3-30.8 μg g(-1)) and 2.6 (35.5-94.0 μg g(-1)) for low and high Cd treatments, respectively. The total Cd in plants positively correlated to the root length, root surface area, root volume, and root length/shoot biomass ratio in both Cd treatments. The shoot Cd concentration was also positively correlated with the root length, root surface area, and root length/shoot biomass ratio. Moreover, the proportion of fine roots (diameter less than 0.2 mm) was positively correlated with the total Cd in plants in low Cd treatment, and positively correlated with percentage of Cd in shoots in high Cd treatment. These results suggested that root morphology might be partially responsible for variation of Cd accumulation among pak choi cultivars. High Cd cultivars exhibit longer root length, greater root surface area, higher root volume, and a higher proportion of fine roots than low Cd cultivars.
