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

Lead (Pb) toxicity is a major issue due to anthropogenic activities that is faced by farmers nowadays which inhibits plant growth and decreases crop yields. From contaminated soils, Pb absorbed by the plants and then ultimately enters into the food chain. Silicon (Si) can reduce Pb availability to plants and can be helpful in Pb immobilization in the soils. Moreover, Si in its nano-form, is expected to augment the beneficial attributes of applied Si. However, very little is known regarding the prospects of nano-Si application and leguminous lentil for alleviating the effects of Pb stress. To assess the effectiveness of bulk Si and nano-Si for reducing Pb toxicity and improving the yield of lentils, a pot study was conducted. Lentil variety Punjab Masoor 2020 was examined under normal and Pb toxic conditions as affected by applied Si and nano-Si. There were eight treatments comprised of different combinations of Si at 100 and 200 mg Si kg
