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

Phytate is a storage form of phosphorus (P) in seeds and, when degraded, plays a vital role in seed germination. Low phytate content in grain seeds inhibits germination and seedling growth. Here, Low-phytate (LP) and normal-phytate (NP) soybean lines were grown in vermiculite to determine whether germination was affected by low phytate content. Growth, phytase activity, mineral concentration, and mineral extractability from the seedlings of NP and LP soybean lines were evaluated. Seedling growth did not differ significantly between NP and LP lines. Phytase and specific phytase activities at 11 days to 17 days after sowing were 1.3 to 2.6 folds greater in the NP line than in the LP line. The LP line hydrolyzed all the phytate 2 days earlier than the NP line. The concentration and extractability of minerals changed over time during germination, and the LP line had higher molar ratios of phytic acid to Ca, Mg, and K than the NP line. These results suggest that germination and growth of the seedlings are not affected by low phytate levels in seeds. We suggest that the LP line benefits from higher bioavailability of P and macro-minerals unlike the NP line.
