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
Understanding how soil formation processes influence the microstructure and the dynamic behavior of clay-rich materials is essential for both pedological interpretation and technological assessment. In this study, we applied fast field cycling nuclear magnetic resonance (FFC NMR) relaxometry to investigate the microstructural heterogeneity of Moroccan clays developed under diverse pedogenetic conditions. Nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) profiles were processed using a model-free inversion algorithm to retrieve the distribution of correlation times. The latter provides a phenomenological mapping of proton-surface interactions across distinct dynamic domains. Complementary indicators of micro-scale hydrological connectivity were, then, computed from the T₁ distributions, integrating both structural (SCI) and functional (FCI) heterogeneity. While the former indicates the breadth of molecular environments experienced by water across the system, the latter captures the dynamic contrast between fast- and slow-relaxing populations associated with variations in surface accessibility and magnetic heterogeneity. The results showed that the clay sample from Khemisset exhibited the greatest relaxation heterogeneity, consistent with advanced pedogenetic reorganization related to redox-driven redistribution of paramagnetic metals. In contrast, the clay samples from Berrechid and Tiflet displayed a more ordered architecture and lower magnetic heterogeneity, reflecting earlier-stage pedogenetic development. This study demonstrated that FFC NMR relaxometry reveals the microstructural memory encoded into water dynamics, offering a powerful tool to infer the pedogenetic pathways leading to soil formation. Beyond its relevance for pedological studies, the method also offers valuable insights into the technological behavior of clays, supporting the selection of raw materials for industrial purposes based on their microstructural properties.
