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

Priming improves the seed germination rate and grain yield. Before this work was executed, little, if any, research has been reported on priming wheat for improving its nutritional properties. The impact of hydro-priming and osmo-priming using solutions with different water potentials on selected hydrolytic enzyme activities and their breakdown of starch, cell wall materials, and phytates during subsequent sprouting was studied here. A higher germination rate in the early growth stage of seedlings was found for hydro-primed or osmo-primed (-0.3, -0.6 MPa) grains. Hydro-primed sprouted grains had the longest radicles and coleoptiles and the highest hydrolytic enzyme activities. The latter lead to a 90% increase in reducing sugar, a 20% increase in water-extractable arabinoxylan, and an 8% decrease in phytate contents after 5 days of sprouting. This study thus offers opportunities for optimizing agricultural practice. The presence of different plant hormones and their concentrations are generally not affected by priming. However, the plant hormone concentrations in grains primed at -1.2 MPa and subsequently sprouted were lower than those in all other samples under study. The induction of too high osmotic stresses in these grains leads to disruption of the sprouting processes. Finally, it was for the first time found, based on the known biosynthesis pathways of wheat, that gibberellic acid (GA)20-oxidase in (primed) sprouted wheat is more active than GA3-oxidase and much more active than GA13-oxidase.
