Sulfur Mitigates Cadmium Toxicity in Lettuce via Phytochelatins and the AsA-GSH Cycle.
Article in Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cadmium (Cd), a toxic heavy metal, accumulates in crops and poses health risks. Sulfur (S) enhances plant metabolism and tolerance to heavy metal stress. In this hydroponic study, we investigated the effects of S on lettuce growth, sulfur-containing compounds, and Cd uptake under Cd stress. S promoted growth, reduced Cd accumulation, and increased phytochelatins (PCs) and PCs-Cd complexes, limiting Cd translocation. Subcellular analysis suggested decreased Cd in organelles and enhanced sequestration in vacuoles and the cell wall, while S alleviated oxidative damage via the AsA-GSH cycle. These findings, obtained under hydroponic conditions, may differ from those of field environments and require further validation. This study is novel in directly quantifying PCs-Cd complexes and analyzing subcellular Cd distribution, providing environmentally relevant insights for strategies to reduce Cd accumulation in crops and improve food safety.
