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

This study was conducted to assess the correlation between growth response, phytoaccumulation factor of different tissues, and elemental composition in tomato seedlings exposed to acid mine water (AMW). In pairwise correlation determinations values of plant height, stem diameter, seed germination indices (radicle length, final germination percentage (FGP), emergency rate index (ERI), vigour index (VI), germination percentage (G%) and germination rate index (GRI)) and the elemental compositions (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn) in the different plant tissues, root (root accumulation factor = RAF), stem (stem translocation factor = STF) and leaves (leaf translocation factor = LTF) were selected for the relationship determinations. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated and revealed the relationships between the paired parameters. The study concluded that the strongly correlated physiological parameters were jointly co-ordinated in tomato seedlings exposed to AMW.
