Application of High Voltage Electrical Discharge Treatment to Improve Wheat Germination and Early Growth under Drought and Salinity Conditions.
Article in Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The environmentally friendly, physical method of high voltage electrical discharge (HVED) was developed to improve the drought and salinity tolerance of two wheat genotypes. Unlike other plasma technologies, HVED treatment involves the discharge of electricity in water. In this study, the effect of HVED pretreatment on wheat germination and early vegetative growth under drought (0%, 15%, 20% and 30% PEG) and salinity (0, 90, 160 and 230 mM NaCl) stress conditions was investigated. HVED-exposed seeds showed altered seed surfaces and became more permeable to water uptake, resulting in higher germination percentages, germination index values, and shoot and root growth under the control and all drought and salinity concentrations. Moreover, the electrical conductivity of the water medium increased significantly, indicating HVED-induced reactions of ionization and dissociations of water molecules occurred. In addition, HVED pretreatment in the salt experiment improved the tolerance index values of the shoots and roots. The most pronounced genotypic variations occurred under the highest stress levels (30% PEG or 230 mM NaCl) and varied with the stress intensity and growth stage. The study results indicate that HVED pretreatment has the potential to improve drought and salt tolerance in wheat.
