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: Cadmium (Cd) phytoremediation is often constrained by the low accumulation capacity and limited stress tolerance of most plant species. Developing approaches to overcome these limitations is essential for more efficient phytoremediation. Methods: The effect of microalgae supplementation on Cd phytoextraction in Results: Microalgae supplementation significantly enhanced total plant biomass by 37.43% while increasing Cd accumulation by 20.72% in roots, 25.87% in stems, and 112.29% in leaves relative to Cd-only treatment. These improvements were closely associated with microalgae-induced physiological adaptations in roots, characterized by elevated peroxidase activity, reduced superoxide anion generation, and mitigated lipid peroxidation. Microalgae treatment also promoted Cd retention in root cell walls, with hemicellulose I showing a 166.37% increase in Cd binding ( Discussion: These findings indicate that microalgae enhanced Cd phytoextraction in
