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
Lead (Pb) is one of the most toxic and harmful pollutants to the environment and human health. Centipedegrass (Eremochloa ophiuroides (Munro) Hack.), an excellent ground cover plant for urban plant communities, exhibits the outstanding lead tolerance and accumulation. Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) is an environmentally friendly chelating agent that strengthens phytoremediation. This study explored the effects of different NTA concentrations on the absorption and transportation of mineral elements and Pb in centipedegrass. Following exposure to Pb (500 μM) for 7 days in hydroponic nutrient solution, NTA increased root Mg, K, and Ca concentrations and shoot Fe, Cu, and Mg concentrations and significantly enhanced the translocation factors of mineral elements to the shoot. Although NTA notably decreased root Pb absorption and accumulation, it significantly enhanced Pb translocation factors, and the Pb TF value was the highest in the 2.0 mM NTA treatment. Furthermore, the shoot translocation of Pb and mineral elements was synergistic. NTA can support mineral element homeostasis and improve Pb translocation efficiency in centipedegrass. Regarding root radial transport, NTA (2.0 mM) significantly promoted Pb transport by the symplastic pathway under the treatments with low-temperature and metabolic inhibitors. Meanwhile, NTA increased apoplastic Pb transport at medium and high Pb concentrations (200-800 μM). NTA also enhanced the Pb radial transport efficiency in roots and thus assisted Pb translocation. The results of this study elucidate the effects of NTA on the absorption and transportation of mineral elements and Pb in plants and provide a theoretical basis for the practical application of the biodegradable chelating agent NTA in soil Pb remediation.
