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

Soil stabilization is a remedial technique that reduces the exposure of the soil environment to soil contaminants. Its efficacy can be assessed by determining whether the environmental availability of a contaminant decreases following treatment. We evaluated several chemical leaching treatments by assessing both contaminant leachability and bioaccumulation in the earthworm Eisenia fetida, and determined the most effective treatment for achieving soil stabilization. Soil samples contaminated with As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and/or Zn were collected from abandoned mine areas and stabilized by adding limestone and steel slag (5% and 2% w/w, respectively). All leaching and earthworm tests were conducted using both contaminated and stabilized soils. In addition to bioaccumulation in earthworms, several toxicity parameters (number of cocoons, growth changes, and survival rates) were also assessed to determine the effects of the treatments on the earthworms. The study showed that treatment of soil with EDTA-NH
