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

The effects on the growth of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) due to the presence of arsenic and vanadium, recently incorporated on the soil, were studied. Besides biomass and morphology, particular emphasis was placed in studying the effect on photosynthetic systems by spectroscopical methods, including reflectance and fluorescence (both stationary and variable) measurements. Assays were conducted in quadruplicate in the presence of arsenic, vanadium and both together, as well as control assays. Arsenic showed stronger effect on growth compared with vanadium, whereas both combined almost stopped growth. The presence of arsenic disrupted the photosynthetic machinery in basil, significantly impairing electron transfer processes within the chloroplasts. Notably, the negative effects on plants were most severe under both contaminants jointly, followed by arsenic alone, whereas vanadium alone showed the lesser effect.
