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
Introduction: Mining-affected soils are complex geochemical systems characterized by long-term heavy metal accumulation, ecological degradation, and altered vegetation structure. Understanding the interactions among soil properties, contaminant mobility, ecological risk, and plant responses is essential for evaluating remediation potential in post-mining ecosystems. This study provides the first integrated assessment of soil properties, ecological risk, vegetation structure, landscape heterogeneity, and plant-mediated phytostabilization in the Belousovka mining area. Methods: Soil physicochemical properties, granulometric composition, heavy metal concentrations, pollution indices, multivariate statistics, spatial analysis, and plant accumulation characteristics were investigated at 17 representative sampling sites, including two reference locations. Concentrations of Zn, Cu, Cd, and Pb were determined in soils and in root and shoot tissues of Results: Zn and Cu were the dominant contaminants (1641 and 205 mg·kg Discussion: Ecological risk was controlled by technogenic contamination and soil properties, whereas predominant root sequestration indicated phytostabilization as the principal adaptive response under contaminated conditions.
