Phytoremediation of road salt affected soils in the Toronto region using native halophytes.
Article in Plant and soil, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and aims: Freshwater salinization is a growing concern in areas of the world experiencing freezing winter temperatures. Winter salt applied to roads can flow directly to surface water and groundwater, but can also be stored in roadside soil for months or years after application. Halophytes (i.e. salt-tolerant plants) remove excess salt from soil and can assist with remediation of saline soils. This study aimed to determine the ability of native halophytes to remediate road salt contaminated sites over two growing seasons. Methods: Four halophytes native to the Toronto, Canada region were planted in experimental plots next to a road that receives salt in the winter months. Two accumulator halophytes ( Results: The accumulator, Conclusions: This is the first multi-year in situ study to examine the potential for halophytes to remediate road salt contamination. Halophytes provide a unique nature-based solution for the remediation and mitigation of road salt contamination Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11104-025-07873-x.
