Heavy metal accumulation of urban Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) plantation.
Article in Environmental monitoring and assessment, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
In soil and plant tissues, the concentrations and reserves of manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) were calculated to measure the heavy metal quantities of the Scots pine afforestation. In the soil and plant tissues, heavy metal concentrations varied. The highest concentration of heavy metal was found in Mn and the lowest concentration in Pb in the soil. Heavy metal stocks followed the order of Mn > Zn > Ni > Cu > Pb in soil, and the order of Zn > Cu > Mn > Ni > Pb in the plant. In the Scots pine parts, Pb and Zn concentrations and BCFs follow Needle > Branch > Bark > Root > Trunk order, while Cu concentrations follow Root > Needle > Branch > Bark > Trunk order, Mn concentrations follow Needle > Branch > Bark > Trunk > Root order and Ni concentrations follow Needle > Branch > Root > Bark > Trunk order. In particular, Scots pine needles are considered to be ideal to be used as biomonitoring plants, especially in monitoring increases in heavy metal concentrations in urban areas. Besides, in order to be more effective in the retaining of heavy metals, it is proposed that mixtures of hyperaccumulator plants be added which are appropriate for climatic conditions.
