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

There are a lack of systematic studies comparing the effects of foliar-applied selenium (Se) with different Se sources at different growth stages in wheat. Herein, we biofortified wheat via the foliar application of selenite and selenate at different rates and different stages under field conditions. Results showed that foliar-applied selenate and selenite had no significant effect either on wheat biomass or grain yield (p < 0.05). Selenium distribution in different parts of wheat plant ranked decrease as leaf > root > grain > glume > stem with selenite treatment, and it appeared in the decline order as leaf > grain > glume > stem > root with selenate treatment. These results suggested that biofortification with selenate caused, relatively to selenite, a higher accumulation of Se in grains. Foliar application of Se of either selenate or selenite at pre-filling stage was superior in improving the Se concentration of wheat grains than application at pre-flowering stage. Meanwhile, organic Se comprised about 72-93% of total Se in wheat grains, which was reduced by 5.8% at high Se rate (100 g ha
