1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Addressing the limitations of single-technology approaches to mitigate cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) co-contamination in rice, this study elucidates the synergistic mechanism between iron-based soil immobilization and foliar zinc (Zn) barrier control. A pot experiment with four treatments was conducted: CK (control), FBA (foliar Zn fertilizer), IBS (iron-based sulfur-rich material), and ISF (IBS combined with Zn). The ISF treatment showed particularly remarkable efficacy. Compared to the CK, it increased rice biomass by 49.6%, reduced Cd and Pb concentrations in grains by 53.8 and 54.2%, respectively (to 0.2 mg/kg), and enhanced Zn accumulation by 311.8%. This treatment raised soil pH by 1.4 units, decreased bioavailable Cd and Pb by 31.2 and 18.5%, and promoted the transfomation of Cd into the Fe-Mn oxide-bound fraction (FMO, + 389.1%) and the residual fraction (RES, + 5.3%), while simultaneously increasing the FMO-bound proportion of Pb by 29.6%. Furthermore, ISF significantly enhanced soil enzyme activities (e.g., urease), increased total microbial OTUs with 187 unique OTUs, enriched
