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

Soil cadmium (Cd) contamination poses adverse impacts on crop yield and quality. Maize is a widely cultivated cereal throughout the world. In this study, field and hydroponic experiments were conducted to investigate the genotypic difference in Cd accumulation and tolerance in maize. There were significant genotypic differences in grain Cd concentrations among 95 genotypes. From these 95 genotypes, L42 which showed a higher grain Cd concentration and L63 which showed a lower grain Cd concentration was selected for further study. Under Cd stress, L63 showed much less reduction in plant growth than L42 compared with the control. Seedlings of L63 recorded higher Cd concentration in roots, but lower in shoots L42, indicating that the low grain Cd concentration in L63 is mainly due to the low rate of transportation of Cd from roots to shoots. Most Cd accumulated in epidermis and xylem vessels of L63, while the green fluorescent was found across almost the entire cross-section of root in L42. Obvious ultrastructural damage was observed in L42 under Cd stress, especially in mesophyll cells, while L63 was less affected. These findings could contribute to developing low Cd accumulation and high tolerance maize cultivars.
