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
Tungsten (W), a transition element, is widely used across industries such as metallurgy, electronics, and military, but its mining and smelting have led to significant environmental concerns due to its accumulation in soil. This study aimed to develop an effective and environmentally friendly method to remediate W-contaminated soil using ferrihydrite-modified montmorillonite, a composite material with enhanced adsorption capacity. The main objectives were to assess the impact of iron loading on the material properties and adsorption efficiency, evaluate its stabilizing effects on W in soil, and examine its influence on the soil microbial community. The results demonstrated that the introduction of ferrihydrite significantly increased the surface area and porosity of montmorillonite, improving its capacity to adsorb W. W extracted by EDTA from the treated soil decreased by 53.13-89.88%, indicating that modified montmorillonite facilitated the transformation of exchangeable W into more stable forms, such as Fe/Mn fractions. The soil pH and organic content increased post-treatment, and the microbial community diversity was restored, with a more stable structure observed. Adsorption experiments confirmed that W adsorption followed the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models, with Fe-OH groups playing a key role in the process. The modification did not induce redox changes in W, suggesting minimal ecological disruption. This study concluded that ferrihydrite-modified montmorillonite is a promising approach for W-contaminated soil remediation, offering high stabilization efficiency and low ecological risk, making it a sustainable solution for addressing heavy metal pollution.
