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
Introduction: Soil co-contamination with cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and antimony (Sb) poses significant environmental and health risks, highlighting the need for effective remediation strategies. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are promising for bioremediation, but require optimization to improve effectiveness. Methods: Here, we developed SRB@nZVI@BC, a novel composite integrating SRB, nano zero-valent iron-modified biochar (nZVI@BC), and sodium alginate (SA). Its optimal preparation conditions were identified as 2% SA, 2% CaCl2, 30% SRB solution, and 0.1% nZVI@BC based on mass transfer performance, mechanical strength, and sulfate reduction rate. Results: The application of SRB@nZVI@BC increased the proportion of stable forms of Cd, Pb, and Sb in soil and achieved removal efficiencies of 60.22%-63.93% for Cd, 57.13%-59.45% for Pb, and 56.02%-70.37% for Sb in leachate. Compared to alone SRB treatment, SRB@nZVI@BC significantly enhanced SRB activity, promoting sulfur cycling and the generation of S Discussion: Overall, SRB@nZVI@BC provides an eco-friendly solution for stabilizing multi-metal-contaminated soils and promoting the restoration of barren lands through synergistic adsorption and biomineralization.
