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

Earlier we reported that seed pre-treatment with PHF promoted early seedling growth and salinity tolerance in wheat. As a way forward, experiments were conducted to investigate whether and to what extent foliar spray of fullerol could influence growth and physio-biochemical responses in salt stressed wheat. In a control experiment, seeds were sown in sand filled pots (500 g) under control and 150 mM NaCl stress. After 15 days, foliar spray of fullerol at 0, 10, 40, 80 and 120 nM concentration was applied and the data for various morpho-biochemical attributes recorded after 2 weeks. Fullerol caused improvements in shoot growth attributes while had least effect on root growth traits. Increase in total chlorophyll while reduction in Car/Chl ratio was evident under salinity in response to fullerol spray. Only 40 and 80 nM spray treatments improved antioxidant activities and reduced H
