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

Plant species inhabiting industrial areas have evolved resilience in stressed environments and represent potential valuable resources for remediating polluted sites. However, data describing the potential of xeric plant species in sustainable green applications remain scarce. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mycorrhiza-amended xeric plant species Lygeum spartum, in coping with arid conditions for phytoremediation and ecological restoration of degraded and contaminated lands. A six-month controlled pot experiment was conducted to assess leaf length, enzymatic activities, and secondary metabolites. Toxic metals and metalloids (TMMs) fate was evaluated using translocation factor (TF), bioaccumulation factor (BF) and removal efficiency (RE). Fungal inoculation positively impacted growth, increasing leaf size by 64.6 % and enhancing chlorophyll content - Chl a (0.73 mg g
