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
The interactions between nitric oxide (NO) and melatonin in alleviating sodium chloride (NaCl) toxicity in plants are poorly comprehended. Here, the associations between the exogenous application of melatonin and endogenous NO levels in inducing tomato seedlings' defense response during NaCl toxicity were investigated. The results indicated that the application of melatonin (150 μM) increased height (23.7%) and biomass (32.2%), improved chlorophyll (a (137%) and b (92.8%)), and proline metabolisms, and reduced the contents of superoxide anion radicals (49.6%), hydrogen peroxide (31.4%), malondialdehyde (38%), and electrolyte leakage (32.6%) in 40-day-old tomato seedlings grown under NaCl (150 mM) treatment. Melatonin increased the antioxidant defense system in NaCl-stressed seedlings by increasing the activity of the antioxidant enzymes. Melatonin also improved N metabolism and endogenous NO content in NaCl-stressed seedlings by upregulating the activity of enzymes implicated in N assimilation. Furthermore, melatonin improved ionic balance and reduced Na content in NaCl-exposed seedlings by upregulating the expression of genes involved in K/Na ratio homeostasis (
