Synthesis of Nickel-Chitosan Nanoparticles for Controlling Blast Diseases in Asian Rice.
Article in Applied biochemistry and biotechnology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Rice blast caused by Pyricularia oryzae is one of most devastating fungal diseases in rice, reducing the annual yield of rice worldwide. As an alternative to fungicide for curbing rice blast, synthesis of nickel-chitosan nanoparticles (Ni-Ch NPs) was performed with nickel chloride and assessed its efficacy in inflating plant growth and hindrance of Pyricularia oryzae (blast pathogen). Characterization of Ni-Ch NPs from SEM, TEM, and DLS analyses showed smooth- and spherical-shaped nanoparticles in the range of 20-70 nm. Colloidal stability of NPs was revealed from Zeta potential exhibiting polydispersity index of 0.22. EDX spectroscopy corroborated the presence of nickel (14.05%) in synthesized Ni-Ch NPs. A significant increase in germination and growth attributes in terms of shoot and root length and number of lateral roots over control was observed in paddy seeds on the treatment with Ni-Ch NPs. Furthermore, the application of NPs in paddy plants under glasshouse condition demonstrated a remarkable improvement in plant growth. Protein profiling of NP-treated plants revealed new polypeptides (Rubisco units) enlightening the enhanced photosynthetic rate. Also, Asian rice exhibited reduced blast symptoms on leaves treated with NPs under glasshouse condition while displaying 64% mycelia inhibition in Petri plates. All these results suggest that nickel-chitosan nanoparticles could be exploited as an effective plant growth promoter cohort in controlling rice blast disease.
