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

Heavy metals (HMs) toxicity, such as nickel (Ni), has significantly reduced crop productivity and threatens human health, while efficient and widely applicable mitigation techniques remain underexplored. Vermicompost is an effective organic amendment to improve soil fertility and increase crop growth under HMs contamination; however, its derived biochar has not been extensively used to remediate Ni phytotoxicity. Hence, this study evaluated the ability of vermicompost (VC) and its derived biochar (VCB) in restricting nickel (Ni) bioaccumulation and growth improvement of wheat.The Ni toxicity decreased plant growth, physiological functions, and antioxidant capacity, along with yield parameters. Moreover, soil DTPA extractable Ni, Ni concentration in root and shoot and bioaccumulation factors significantly increase in Ni-contaminated soil (100 and 200 mg Ni kg
