Inventing hyperaccumulator plants: improving practice in phytoextraction research and terminology.
Article in International journal of phytoremediation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Toxic metals and metalloids, especially from anthropogenic sources, now pollute substantial areas of our planet. Phytoextraction is a proven technology with the potential to reduce metal/metalloid pollution, and where financially viable, recover valuable metals ('phytomining'). Toward these aims, there has been a surge of publications over the last two decades. While important progress is being made, ongoing propagation of poor practice, and the resultant drain from funding sources, is hindering this promising research area. This includes mis-ascribing hyperaccumulator species, hydroponics with extremely high dose levels, misuse of Bioconcentration Factors, use of food or biomass crops with low accumulation for phytoextraction, the phenomenon of 'template papers' in which a known hyperaccumulator for element
