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
High soil sodium (Na) is a common stress in natural and agricultural systems. Roots are usually the first tissues exposed to Na stress and Na stress-related impairment of mitochondrial function is likely to be particularly important in roots. However, neither the effects of NaCl on mitochondrial function, nor its protection by several potential adaptive mechanisms, have been well studied. This study investigated the effects of NaCl stress on maize (Zea mays) mitochondrial electron transport and its relative protection by osmoprotectants (proline, betaine, and sucrose), antioxidants (ascorbate, glutathione, and alpha-tocopherol), antioxidant enzymes (catalase and Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase), and mitochondrial small heat shock proteins (sHsps). We demonstrate that Complex I electron transport is protected by antioxidants and sHsps, but not osmoprotectants, whereas Complex II is protected only by low concentrations of proline and betaine. These results indicate that NaCl stress damaged Complex I via oxidative stress and suggests that sHsps may protect Complex I as antioxidants, but NaCl damaged Complex II directly. This is the first study to demonstrate that NaCl stress differentially affects Complex I and II in plants and that protection of Complex I and II during NaCl stress is achieved by different mechanisms.
