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

In this study, the effects of foliar application of selenium (Se) at different concentrations were examined based on changes in several parameters such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium (NPK) concentration in soil and oat plant, oat yield, organic matter in the soil (OMS), non-enzymatic antioxidants, and total phenol content. Chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) concentrations were also assessed in oat straw and seeds. The study complies with local and national guideline. Simultaneous application of potassium humate (K-humate) with Se was also investigated in this study. Se application increased the bioavailability of N and P in soil and their total concentration in the straw and seeds of each plant. Se concentrations were proportional to the amount of phosphorous found in soil (P-soil) but not with K concentrations in seed (K-plant). Application of K-humate with Se increased the bioavailable fraction of K-soil; however, it did not increase the bioavailable fraction of K-straw or K-seed. Although the application of Se alone substantially enhanced yield, the simultaneous application of K-humate showed no additional effect. Moreover, responses of seed yield and plant length were not significant after the application of Se with or without K-humate. OMS and total phenol content were proportional to the application rate of Se with and without K-humate. Non-enzymatic antioxidant content was also proportional to Se concentrations but not proportional to K-humate. The total Se concentrations in the soil, plant straw, and seeds increased with the addition of K-humate. Furthermore, the total Cr concentrations were reduced after the application of Se and K-humate. Fe concentration in the straw and seeds varied from one treatment to another, and Mn concentration was reduced in response to the foliar application of Se and K-humate. Zn concentrations in the straw and seeds of plants were reduced with the application of varying concentrations of Se. Increasing the application rate of Se induced a reduction in the Cu concentration in seeds. In contrast, the simultaneous application of Se and K-humate increased the Cu concentration in seeds.
