Nanoparticles as elicitors and harvesters of economically important secondary metabolites in higher plants: A review.
Review in IET nanobiotechnology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 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
Nanoparticles possess some unique properties which improve their biochemical reactivity. Plants, due to their stationary nature, are constantly exposed to nanoparticles present in the environment, which act as abiotic stress agents at sub-toxic concentrations and phytotoxic agents at higher concentrations. In general, nanoparticles exert their toxicological effect by the generation of reactive oxygen species to which plants respond by activating both enzymatic and non-enzymatic anti-oxidant defence mechanisms. One important manifestation of the defence response is the increased or de novo biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, many of which have commercial application. The present review extensively summarizes current knowledge about the application of different metallic, non-metallic and carbon-based nanoparticles as elicitors of economically important secondary metabolites in different plants, both in vivo and in vitro. Elicitation of secondary metabolites with nanoparticles in plant cultures, including hairy root cultures, is discussed. Another emergent technology is the ligand-harvesting of secondary metabolites using surface-functionalized nanoparticles, which is also mentioned. A brief explanation of the mechanism of action of nanoparticles on plant secondary metabolism is included. Optimum conditions and parameters to be evaluated and standardized for the successful commercial exploitation of this technology are also mentioned.
