Synergistic effects of gibberellic acid, biochar, and rhizobacteria on wheat growth under heavy metal and drought stress.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a vital crop constituting approximately 20% of global caloric intake, faces significant threats from heavy metal contamination, particularly cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr), along with drought stress, jeopardizing global food security. This study aimed to investigate the combined effects of these stressors and the potential of plant growth enhancers such as gibberellic acid (GA3), biochar (BC), and rhizobacteria to improve wheat growth. Conducted in a controlled greenhouse environment at The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, the experiment utilized a completely randomized design with three replications across 72 pots, each filled with clay loam soil. The experimental layout included 24 treatment combinations involving cadmium stress (6 mg/kg), chromium stress (300 and 600 mg/kg), drought stress simulated at -0.8 MPa soil water potential, and various applications of GA3 (200 mg L
