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

Conventional chemical soil amendments and novel material biochars have been widely reported for the immobilisation of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in polluted soil. However, information regarding their comparative effectiveness is poor. In the present study, rice husk biochar (RHB) was compared with two chemical soil amendments including hydroxyapatite (HAP) and hydrated lime (HDL) for their effectiveness to enhance plant growth and the reduction of Cd uptake and translocation by Triticum aestivum L. grown in heavy-metal-polluted soil. Compared with control and two chemical soil amendments, RHB rapidly improved wheat growth. The HAP, HDL, and RHB treated plants retained Cd and Pb in roots and restricted their translocation. The RHB treatment had the best effect on growth, yield promotion and the reduction of Cd and Pb in wheat grain. Furthermore, the soils treated with RHB and HAP showed lower DTPA-extracted Cd concentrations, and the maximum reduction was observed in HAP-amended soil. However, the DTPA-extracted Pb concentration was not significantly decreased after the application of two chemical soil amendments for 40 days; the maximum reduction was found in soil treated with RHB for 80 days. In all treatments, Cd in post-harvest soil was mainly present in exchangeable, carbonate bound, and Fe-Mn oxide Cd, while the dominant chemical form of Pb was Fe-Mn oxide Pb. Three soil amendments application decreased exchangeable and organic bound- Cd and Pb levels. HAP and RHB displayed significantly immobilisation for soil Cd and reduced translocation of heavy metal as well as its availability in soil, but the HAP had significant inhibition on growth of wheat in contaminated soil. Therefore, RHB shows a promising potential for the reduction of Cd and Pb bioaccumulation in grains from wheat grown on heavy-metal-polluted soils.
