The Ameliorative Effect of Silicon on Maize Plants Grown in Mg-Deficient Conditions.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
The importance of magnesium (Mg) for plant growth is well-documented. Silicon (Si)-mediated alleviation of mineral deficiencies has been also reported in a number of plant species; however, there is no report on the relevance of Si nutrition in plants grown in Mg-deficient condition. Therefore, in the present work, an attempt was undertaken to study the role of Si nutrition in maize plants exposed to Mg deficiency. Plants were grown either under low (0.02 mM) or normal (0.5 mM) levels of Mg, with or without Si supplement. We have shown that Mg-deficient plants treated with Si maintained their growth and increased significantly the levels of chlorophyll and soluble sugars compared to those plants which did not receive Si. In addition, the concentrations of hexose-P, and glycolytic intermediate metabolites-mainly organic acids (isocitric and glutamic acids)-were increased in response to Si nutrition, which was associated with an increase in the levels of stress amino acids such as gamma-aminobutyric-acid (GABA), serine and glycine, as well as polyamines putrescine, which overall contributed to Mg stress tolerance. In addition, Si enhanced the levels of phytohormones cytokinin
