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

As a critical element for ecosystem functioning, the spatial distribution patterns and influencing mechanisms of molybdenum (Mo) remain poorly understood. The Pearl river delta (PRD), a heavily industrialized and densely populated region in China, faces significant ecological risks. This study utilizing soil geochemical survey data to identify the primary drivers of soil Mo distribution on PRD combining random forest and geodetector model. Mo concentrations in surface and deep soils range from 0.15 to 109.76 mg/kg and 0.14-43.68 mg/kg, with median values of 1.16 mg/kg and 1.31 mg/kg, respectively. Key factors influencing surface soil Mo include Si/Al, CoD (coastline distance), and TFe2O3, whereas deep soil Mo is primarily affected by Si/Al, Mn, and TFe2O3. There are varying degrees of synergy between the different driving factors. The study concludes that soil Mo in the PRD predominantly originates from natural sources, with parent material weathering and seawater erosion shaping its spatial distribution.
