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
backgroundBrassica oleracea var. acephala, commonly referred to as kale, is a well-documented plant species, a food crop but well recognized for its capacity to endure and manage the accumulation of heavy metals. In this research, the phytoremediation potential of kale was evaluated based on cadmium intake, utilizing three distinct kale varieties originating from Bosnia and Herzegovina. All kales were grown in controlled conditions, with different concentrations of cadmium (Cd), a known strong pollutant found in small concentrations in soil under normal environmental conditions. After the root length analysis and cadmium atomic spectrometry, we utilized quantitative PCR (qPCR) and cycle threshold (Ct) values to calculate the expression levels of five genes associated with Cd heavy metal response: Mitogen-activated protein kinase 2 (MAPK
resultsThe atomic reader's analysis of rising cadmium concentrations revealed a proportional decline in the length of kale roots. The gene expression levels corresponded to cadmium stress differently among varieties, but mostly showing notable up-regulations under Cd stress, indicating the strong Cd presence within the plant.
conclusionsThis study demonstrated differences in gene expression behavior among three B. oleracea varieties from Bosnia and Herzegovina, indicating and filtering the Cd-resistant kale, and kale varieties suitable for phytoremediation. For the first time, such a study was conducted on kale varieties from Bosnia and Herzegovina, analyzing the impact of cadmium on the growth and resilience of these species.
