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
Industrial sludge often contains considerable amount of organic matter and plant nutrients to enhance crop production. However, its utilization in agriculture is viewed with concern as it also enhances the entry of toxic heavy metals into the agroecosystem. A field study was conducted to assess the potential of sludge generated from a soft beverage industry in cereal crops after critical analysis of benefits and contamination risks. The treatments were control, recommended doses of major fertilizers applied to both maize and following wheat crops, and organic amendments, viz., cattle dung manure and sludge at graded rates (2-50 t/ha) applied only to maize crop. Growth, yield, and heavy metal concentrations in plant parts were measured. Sludge application rates at ≥ 20 t/ha had significant direct as well as residual effects on crops in terms of enhancing their growth parameters and grain yields in comparison to the direct effects of fertilizer applications. It also enhanced Cu, Cd, Pb, and Zn concentrations in vegetative biomass of both crops even with the lowest rate of application, but had lower or little effect on their concentrations in grains. Sludge facilitated accumulation of metals in vegetative biomass of maize as indicated by increase in dynamic factor of bioaccumulation (BA
