Effect of pH and citric acid on the growth, arsenic accumulation, and phytochelatin synthesis in Eupatorium cannabinum L., a promising plant for phytostabilization.

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
Heavy-metal contamination of soils has increased in the last decades due to anthropogenic and industrial activities. Arsenic is one of the pollutants that is commonly found in industrial soils and is toxic for both plants and humans. The pH of the soil or the culture medium is one of the most important factors that interferes with the bioavailability of this metalloid to the plant. The addition of chelating agents, such as citric acid (CA), can increase the absorption of As by plants. Therefore, the objective of this work is to study the effect of the pH and the exogenous addition of citric acid on the growth, As accumulation, and thiol compounds in Eupatorium cannabinum; this plant grows naturally in contaminated soils in Asturias, Spain, and has a potential use in phytoremediation. The results showed that E. cannabinum was able to tolerate As stress even at extreme pH values and accumulated a high amounts of As in its roots, which makes it a promising species for the phytostabilization of soils polluted with this metalloid.
