Effect of tea waste biochar and zeolite on maize growth and glyphosate uptake irrigated with glyphosate contaminated water.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Excessive application and continuous use of glyphosate herbicide negatively affect plant growth. In addition to damaging soil health in agricultural systems, it disrupts protein synthesis, nutrient cycle, chlorophyll decrease, and photosynthesis, leading to slow growth and decreased plant mass. TWBC can significantly enhance plant growth by improving soil structure, encouraging water retention, and enhancing microbial activity as a slow-release nutrient. Zeolite is a natural mineral that retains essential nutrients, prevents soil leaching, and enhances soil structure, aeration, and water-holding capacity, thereby promoting plant growth. Its buffering capacity changes soil pH, ensuring optimal nutrient acquisition. This study examines the combined effect of TWBC with ZL as a supplement to enhance maize growth under glyphosate stress. Treatments included control, 0.15%, 0.30%, 0.60%, and 1.20% TWBC, applied with 0% and 5% ZL using a completely randomized design in three replications. The combination of 0.60% TWBC with 5% ZL led to an increase in maize plant height (44.91%), root length (49.69%), shoot fresh weight (44.21%), shoot dry weight (58.47%), root fresh weight (52.55%), and root dry weight (62.50%) compared to the control. Additionally, a significant increase in leaf N (23.50%), P (29.09%), and K (17.24%) was observed, while a decrease in glyphosate concentration (88.89%) under glyphosate stress validated the effect of 0.60% TWBC with 5% ZL treatment. In conclusion, the findings suggest that a 0.60% TWBC with 5% ZL is the most effective amendment for enhancing plant growth and mitigating glyphosate stress in maize plants.
