Immobilization of lead and zinc in contaminated soil using taro stem-derived biochar and apatite amendments: a comparative study of application ratios and pyrolysis temperatures.
Article in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Soil contamination by heavy metals presents a substantial environmental challenge. Remediation strategies employing biochar and apatite offer promise for restoring compromised sites. However, the efficacy of apatite and biochar derived from various biomass sources remains an under-investigated area. Taro stem-derived biochar produced at 300 and 500 °C (TSB300 and TSB500) and apatite amendments were incubated in contaminated soil for one month at various ratios (biochar 3%, 6%, 10%, mixture of biochar/apatite 3 : 3%, and 6 : 6% w/w) to investigate their potential to immobilize Pb and Zn. The initial concentrations of Pb and Zn in the contaminated soil were 4165.1 ± 19.6 mg kg
