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

Cadmium (Cd) contamination poses severe threats to agricultural productivity and ecosystem health. Biochar has shown promise in immobilizing Cd and enhancing microbial functions, yet its pH-dependent mechanisms remain underexplored. This study aimed to elucidate pH-dependent variations in biochar-mediated cadmium (Cd) immobilization efficiency, nitrification activity, and bacterial community diversity across soils of contrasting pH levels, with mechanistic insights into the synergistic interplay between biochar properties and soil pH. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and high-throughput sequencing were used to investigate the effects of a 1% (
