Seed mineral reserves and vigour of Bambara groundnut (
Article in Heliyon, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
A newly emerged seedling, given light and water, but no external source of minerals, uses its internal mineral nutrient reserves effectively for an early establishment. This research sought to investigate the influence of seed coat colour on the abundance of mineral elements in Bambara groundnut. Four landraces (G340A, Kazai, Kazuma, and Mana) varying in seed coat colour were analysed for differences in seed mineral composition using energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Seeds were germinated at 10 °C and 25 °C, and various indices including, (1) mean emergence time, (2) mean germination rate, (3) coefficient of velocity of germination, and (4) final germination percentage (FGP) were calculated. The importance of seed mineral elements in the establishment of Bambara groundnut was examined by measuring root length (RL), shoot length (SL), shoot dry mass (SDM), and root dry mass (RDM). Plant tissue elemental analysis was done using flame atomic emission spectrometry (FAES) for K and flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) for Mg, Cu, Mn, and Zn. There were significant differences (P < 0.001) in mineral element content of dry seeds. G340A and Kazai had the highest and the lowest K, P, Mg, Mn, and Zn (11.65 gkg
