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
Two kitchen garden soils (A and B) sampled in contaminated areas were amended using phosphates in sustainable quantities in order to reduce the environmental availability of potentially toxic inorganic elements (PTEs) and to favour the availability of alkali, alkali earth and micronutrients. The environmental availability of PTEs was evaluated using a potential plant for revegetation of contaminated soils (ryegrass) and a mixture of low molecular weight organic acids. Despite the highest contamination level of B, the concentration of metals was highest in the ryegrass shoots grown on A for the two harvests. These results correlated well with those obtained using low molecular weight organic acids for Cd, Zn and Cu, whereas this mixture failed to represent the transfer of nutrients due to the presence of biological and physiological mechanisms. The statistical differences between the biomass of ryegrass obtained at the first and the second harvests were attributed to the decrease of available potassium, implicated in the growth and development of plants. Phosphates increased the ratios Zn/Cd, Zn/Pb and Zn/Cu up to 176 ± 48, 38 ± 6 and 80 ± 12, respectively, and made possible the reduction of the concentration of Cd and Pb in the shoots of ryegrass by 22% and 25%, respectively. The concentration of Zn in the shoots of ryegrass from the first and the second harvests grown on soil A were in the range 1050-2000 mg kg
