Waste slag benefits for correction of soil acidity.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The global trend is to find new materials with improved environment friendly. The sustainable development of 2030 AGENDA and Waste Management Legislation sustain the disposal of a large quantity of slag at landfill sites by causing environmental consequences which has drawn attention to the need for its more effective recycling. Heavy industries have been operating in the Galati area for over 30 years and an ecological education is necessary for an efficient management of waste slag. The agricultural land resources are an issue world-wide and through this investigative study we showed that the mixture of blast furnace slag and waste slag dumped in landfill can help remediation of the soil acidity and increasing the crop yield. The chemical, structural and morphological properties of three investigated different slag samples are evaluated for recycling in agriculture. Results indicated that the obtained mixture of the slag waste dumped in landfill and of granulated metallurgical slag shows its usage in saving the affected lands. Therefore, by elemental analysis determined by X-ray fluorescence analytical equipment, the optimum weight ratio for the composition of soil-slag mixture were achieved. The obtained mixture presents a balance between soil pH = 5.2 corresponding to a medium acid soil and slag pH = 12.5 which corresponds as strongly basic character which is beneficial in amelioration process of acidic soils for the improving of soil characteristics.
