Low-cost field production of biochars and their properties.
Article in Environmental geochemistry and health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Biochar has been intensively investigated for carbon sequestration, soil fertility enhancement, and immobilization of heavy metals and organic pollutants. Large-scale use of biochar in agricultural production and environmental remediation, however, has been constrained by its high cost. Here, we demonstrated the production of low-cost biochar ($20/ton) in the field from Robinia pseudoacacia biowaste via a combined aerobic and oxygen-limited carbonization process and a fire-water-coupled method. It involved aerobic combustion at the outer side of biomass, oxygen-limited pyrolysis in the inner core of biomass, and the termination of the carbonization by water spray. The properties of biochar thus produced were greatly affected by exposure time (the gap between a burning char fell to the ground and being extinguished by water spray). Biochar formed by zero exposure time showed a larger specific surface area (155.77 m
