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

Numerous reports of graphene-family nanomaterials (GFNs) promoting plant growth have opened up a wide range of promising potential applications in agroforestry. However, several toxicity studies have raised growing concerns about the biosafety of GFNs. Although these studies have provided clues about the role of GFNs from different perspectives (such as plant physiology, biochemistry, cytology, and molecular biology), the mechanisms by which GFNs affect plant growth remain poorly understood. In particular, a systematic collection of data regarding differentially expressed genes in response to GFN treatment has not been conducted. We summarize here the fate and biological effects of GFNs in plants. We propose that soil environments may be conducive to the positive effects of GFNs but may be detrimental to the absorption of GFNs. Alterations in plant physiology, biochemistry, cytological structure, and gene expression in response to GFN treatment are discussed. Coincidentally, many changes from the morphological to biochemical scales, which are caused by GFNs treatment, such as affecting root growth, disrupting cell membrane structure, and altering antioxidant systems and hormone concentrations, can all be mapped to gene expression level. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the effects of GFNs on plant growth to promote their safe and efficient use.
