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

key messagepolyglutamic acid-functionalized carbon dots improve Cadmium tolerance in Houttuynia cordata by reducing Cadmium accumulation, restoring physiological functions, and reshaping rhizosphere microbial communities. Cadmium (Cd) pollution significantly inhibits the growth and development of H. cordata and poses a serious threat to the safe production of this medicinal plant. In this study, polyglutamic acid-functionalized carbon dots (PGA-CDs) were synthesized by the hydrothermal method, and the mechanism of their role in alleviating Cd stress in H. cordata was systematically investigated. The results showed that compared with the Cd group, the biomass of H. cordata in the Cd+PGA-CDs group significantly increased, and the Cd
