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
The growth performance and trace metal accumulation of pak choi (Brassica chinensis L.) were investigated to evaluate the ameliorative effect of humic acid on molybdenum (Mo) slag-spiked calcareous soil. Calcareous soil spiked with 5.0% (w/w) slag was amended with humic acid derived from leonardite from 0 to 5.0% (w/w). With increasing application rate, humic acid enhanced the antioxidative capacity of pak choi seedling, as indicated by increases in the activities of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase) and a decrease in malondialdehyde content; humic acid application also increased total chlorophyll content, leaf area, seedling height, and fresh biomass of pak choi. These stimulation effects started to decrease above 2.5-5.0% application of humic acid. The contents of trace metals (Cu, Mn, Zn, As, Cd, and Pb) in the aboveground part of pak choi seedling generally decreased at low rates (0.5% and 1.0%), and then increased with higher rates (2.5% and 5.0%) of humic acid application. Health risk assessment of trace metals based on target hazard quotient (THQ) suggested that consuming pak choi grown on these soils is safe. Low rate (0.5%) of humic acid reduced the potential health risk, while high rates (2.5% and 5.0%) accumulated trace metals and increased health risk. Humic acid could be added to Mo slag-spiked calcareous soil for the yield and food safety of pak choi, but the overuse of humic acid should be avoided.
