Phytotoxic evaluation of neonicotinoid imidacloprid and cadmium alone and in combination on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.).
Article in Ecotoxicology (London, England), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Neonicotinoids and heavy metals pollution exist simultaneously in agro ecosystem. However, little is known about their combined ecotoxicological effects on non-target crop plants. We have selected imidacloprid (IMI) and cadmium (Cd), applied alone and in combination, to evaluate their effect on growth, physiological and biochemical parameters of tomato. Results showed that the single application of contaminants (IMI and/or Cd) adversely affected both the growth and chlorophyll pigment, and Cd alone application was more phytotoxic than IMI. However, their combined action aggravated the inhibitory effect and indicate a synergistic effect, but it exerted antagonistic effects on chlorophyll pigment inhibition compared with IMI and Cd alone treatments. Both chemicals increased hydrogen peroxide level and generated lipid peroxidation, and the co-contamination exacerbates oxidative stress by their synergistic effect. Those results implicate that disturbance of cellular redox status is the plausible mechanism for IMI and Cd induced toxicity. In conclusion, the single or combined IMI and Cd cause negative effects on tomatoes.
