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

The reuse of treated oilfield-produced water (PW) presents a viable solution to water scarcity in arid regions; however, elevated boron (B) levels pose a significant constraint for sustainable irrigation. This study evaluates boron dynamics in a soil-plant system irrigated with treated PW and examines the effectiveness of nature-based solutions in mitigating its accumulation. A controlled experiment using two soil types and multiple water sources was conducted, with biochar and gypsum applied as soil amendments. Boron concentrations were assessed in plant tissues, roots, and soil layers. Results showed significant boron accumulation under PW irrigation, exceeding safe agronomic thresholds, and soil analysis indicated greater boron retention in surface layers. Boron concentrations reached maximum average concentrations exceeding 200 mg kg
