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
Purpose: This study aimed to develop an environmentally friendly microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) system using Method: We conducted computer simulations and experimental studies, including strain identification and concentration optimization of calcium lignosulfonate and other compounds. Using various detection techniques (SEM, XRD, FTIR, etc.), we evaluated the effectiveness of MICP in concrete and different soil types in China. Results: The addition of 10 g/L calcium lignosulfonate significantly enhanced calcite formation and improved the cementation ability in Yunnan red soil and Henan yellow soil. The metabolic pathways of Conclusion: These results demonstrate that calcium lignosulfonate promotes mineralization and can serve as a sustainable carbon and energy source alternative to conventional urea in MICP systems. This approach offers a promising route for concrete reinforcement and soil stabilization by reducing environmental pollution while enhancing calcite formation.
