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
Microplastics are exotic pollutants and are increasingly detected in soil, but it remains poorly understood how microplastics impact soil and plant systematically. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of polyvinyl chloride microplastics (PVC-MPs) on wheat seedlings performance and soil properties. Under the stress of PVC-MPs, no new substance and functional groups were generated in soil by X-ray diffraction and the fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses, whereas the diffraction and characteristic peaks and of soil was affected by PVC-MPs. Wheat seedlings shoot biomass and soil nitrate nitrogen were significantly inhibited by PVC-MPs. Chlorophylls were not significant affected by PVC-MPs. Superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase activities in wheat seedlings increased, while malondialdehyde and proline contents decreased significantly. Redundancy analysis displayed that wheat seedlings traits can be largely explained by soil nitrate nitrogen. Our results indicate that PVC-MPs have more significant influence on soil structure than on soil substance composition. Moreover, even though antioxidant enzyme activities were improved to respond the stress of PVC-MPs, wheat seedlings are not severely impacted by PVC-MPs. Besides, soil nitrate nitrogen is the main factor on wheat seedlings performance and wheat seedlings are prone to ensure the root growth under the stress of PVC-MPs.
