"The roots" of selenium toxicity: A new concept.
Article in Plant signaling & behavior, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Elevated levels of selenium (Se) cause toxicity in non-accumulator plant species. The primary reasons for toxic Se effect have been considered to be selenoprotein accumulation and oxidative stress. However, based on our recent paper in Plant Cell Reports and previous literature data we suggest that disturbances in the homeostasis of both reactive oxygen and nitrogen species result in selenium-induced nitro-oxidative stress, contributing to toxicity. The most characteristic symptom of Se exposure is the inhibited root elongation which is partly caused by hormonal disturbances. Our recent paper suggests the involvement of cytokinin in selenium stress sensing of the root systemAltogether, the aim of this Addendum is to present reactive nitrogen species and phytohormones as new players in plant selenium toxicity.
