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

Tree windbreaks are common features in high-traffic roadsides that mitigate air pollution, winds, and noise. The impact of tree barriers on the dispersal of lead in the soil was studied at highway roadsides located near Holon city, Israel. A discontinuous line of trees parallel to the highway separated the highway from agricultural fields. The line includes alternating trees and openings; thus, it was divided into two groups: one consists of the areas hidden by trees (windbreaks) and the other includes the open areas exposed to the road (gaps). At each of the windbreaks and gaps, soil samples were collected from the upper 0-5 cm depth at various distances from the road: 6, 11, 27, 40, 60 m. Lead concentration and soil properties associated with lead adsorption (organic matter, texture, calcium carbonate) were determined for all soil samples. At both the windbreak and gap areas, the averages and the medians of lead content declined nonlinearly with increasing distance from the highway. At 6 m distance, the average lead content in the windbreak areas was higher than that in the gaps (176 and 157 mg kg
