Metal citrate nanoparticles: a robust water-soluble plant micronutrient source.
Article in RSC advances, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
A series of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) plant nanonutrients in citrate form were prepared by an eco-friendly solid-state grinding of the respective nitrates and citric acid. Ball-milling of the as-prepared Fe and Zn citrates resulted in nanosize particles. The as-prepared and ball-milled Fe and Zn citrates were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The particle size and morphology of the obtained samples were studied using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The obtained nanosized Fe and Zn citrates were analyzed for their plant uptake in the test crop soybean (var. JS-335) using the white-sand technique. The concentration of nutrients was estimated by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). A significant increase in nutrient absorption was observed in 6 h ball-milled samples of both Fe (789.8 μg per g of dry weight) and Zn (443.8 μg per g of dry weight) citrates. Such an increased nutrient absorption is due to the high mobility of nanocitrates. Therefore, nanocitrates can serve as an excellent source of plant nutrients in agriculture.
