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

Introduction: Soil salinization poses a significant threat to agricultural development and ecosystem health. While phytoremediation is an effective approach, the mechanisms by which salt-tolerant plants mediate saline-alkali soil amelioration in the Songnen Plain remain unclear. Methods: We selected seven common salt-tolerant plants from the Songnen Plain to compare soil nutrients and microbial communities between vegetated areas and bare alkali patches. Soil salinity, pH, nutrient content (TN, TP, TK), enzyme activities (Catalase, Cellulase, Saccharase, Urease), and microbial structure were analyzed. Results: Plant presence significantly reduced soil salinity and pH while increasing nutrient levels and enzyme activities, with SL ( Discussion: These findings demonstrate that salt-tolerant plants enhance soil fertility and restructure microbial communities in saline-alkali soils, with EC/pH and TN as critical regulatory factors. This study provides a scientific basis for sustainable saline land rehabilitation via targeted vegetation restoration.
