Reclaiming multi-contaminated soil: melatonin alleviates cadmium and microplastic toxicity to restore rice growth and yield.
Article in RSC advances, 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
The increasing presence of cadmium (Cd) and microplastics (MPs) in agricultural soils is a serious challenge to crop productivity and human health. Melatonin (MT) is a vital protectant that mitigates abiotic stresses, and it has shown promising results in mitigating Cd toxicity. Its specific role in mitigating the combined stress of Cd and MPs remains unexplored, which distinguishes our study from recent studies on single stressors. This study investigated the roles of MT in modulating plant physiological function, cadmium uptake and soil properties to increase rice resilience to combined Cd and MP stress. The study included different treatments: control (soil without Cd and MPs), Cd-polluted soil (30 mg kg
