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

Microbial biosurfactants are valued for their surface activity and emulsifying properties; among them, rhamnolipids-primarily produced by Pseudomonas species-are the most prominent. Pseudomonas sp., a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium, is also known to enhance heavy metal (HM) uptake in Helianthus annuus L. In this study, we produced biosurfactants from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain ZF2MGHSO (Rha1) and Pseudomonas sp. strain AHE16 (Rha2). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis confirmed that the purified biosurfactant was composed of rhamnolipids. We evaluated the effects of Rha1 and Rha2 on Cd and Zn uptake and HaZIP1 gene expression in sunflower plants grown in contaminated soil. Both rhamnolipids significantly increased Zn and Cd accumulation in roots and shoots, with the highest root Zn (724 ± 3 mg g⁻
