Cysteine mitigates the effect of NaCl salt toxicity in flax (Linum usitatissimum L) plants by modulating antioxidant systems.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Agriculture, the main water-consuming factor, faces a global water scarcity crisis. Saline water is an alternative water source, while excess NaCl decreases plant growth and productivity of crops. L-cysteine (Cys) is a promising thiol amino acid in plant growth and development. Flax; Linum usitatissimum L. is an economical plant with low salt tolerance. NaCl salt stress at 50 and 100 mM inhibited the growth parameters, the photosynthetic pigments, total soluble sugars, total phenols, and amino nitrogen in flax plants. Salt stress led to a marked rise in proline and lipid peroxidation and altered the protein profile. Foliar application of cysteine at 0.8 and 1.6 mM mitigates the unfriendly effects of NaCl stress on flax plants. Cysteine enhanced the growth traits, photosynthetic pigments, amino nitrogen, total phenols, and new polypeptides in NaCl-stressed plants. However, cysteine declined the total sugars, proline, the activity of peroxidase, and ascorbate peroxidase. The results confirmed that cysteine had reductant properties. Furthermore, it decreased the NaCl oxidative stress and maintained the stability of membranes by lowering lipid peroxidation. Overall, the redox capacity of L-cysteine is the cause behind its potential counteracting of the adverse effects of NaCl toxicity on the growth of flax plants.
