Heavy metal distribution and uptake by maize in a mudflat soil amended by vermicompost derived from sewage sludge.

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
Sewage sludge has been regarded as an economic and efficient soil amendment for mudflat soil amendment despite of the concern of heavy metal contamination. Converting sewage sludge into vermicompost by earthworms may be effective to minimize the risk of heavy metal contamination caused by direct application of sewage sludge in mudflat soil. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of vermicompost amendment (VA), and its influence on heavy metal contamination compared with sewage sludge amendment (SSA) in mudflat soil. The results showed that VA improved the physicochemical properties of mudflat soil by decreasing soil bulk density, salinity, and pH, increasing soil organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus contents in the soil. Consequently, the maize biomass and yield were significantly elevated by VA. For heavy metals, VA increased total Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn concentrations in mudflat soil, and the maximum increments occurred at 250 t ha
