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

The phytoremediation efficiency of multi-metal-polluted sites in an electronic waste recycling town by Eucalyptus globulus was evaluated through a series of 2-year field experiments. Different initial planting densities (2500, 5000, and 10,000 plants per ha), coppice rotations, and harvesting position (5 or 30 cm above the ground) protocols were designed to improve the remediation potential of the species. There were unnoticeable variations in metal concentrations and distribution characteristics in plant tissues in a low and medium planting-density field during the experimental period. At the end of the experiment, total biomass production per hectare in different protocols displayed a wide range with maximum yield produced in high density, moderate harvesting, and coppice rotation protocol being 2.9 times higher than the minimum yield. The moderate harvest protocol performed with medium planting density was the optimal Cd and Cu decontamination technique. Although the high planting-density field without coppice rotation had the strongest potential for Pb decontamination, it would take more time to remove other metals for the multi-metal-polluted soil decontamination. Considering the remediation efficiency and maintainability of the cultivation system, the moderate harvest protocol performed with the medium planting density was commended for phytoremediation of e-waste recycling impacted area.
