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

key messagePlant growth regulators (IAA and MT) enhance phytoextraction of cadmium and chromium in king grass by boosting plant growth, photosynthesis, antioxidant activity, and upregulating key enzymes, leading to improved metal accumulation and soil remediation efficiency. Heavy metal contamination, particularly cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr), threatens global soil health and food security. This study evaluated the role of eight plant growth regulators (PGRs) including indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), melatonin (MT), gibberellin (GA3), abscisic acid (ABA), cytokinin (CKS), ethylene (ETH), strigolactones (SL), and salicylic acid (SA) in enhancing phytoextraction by king grass (Pennisetum purpureum × P. americanum) across low (LP) and high-pollution (HP) soils.
