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

Among new technologies aimed at improving water productivity, nanotechnology have been identified as effective means of enhancing the properties of agricultural water. Building on the synergy of plasma and nanobubbles, this study explored the combination of plasma electric discharge and nanocavitation as a novel approach for soilless cultivation. The study aimed to investigate the impact of this hybrid technology on hydroponics nutrient solution. Additionally, the study further aimed to assess the effect of both technologies individually, as well as various application periods, including 3, 9, and 15 min for hybrid technology use. The study employed the nutrient flow technique to hydroponically cultivate lettuce. The findings showed that the application of each technology individually did not significantly increase yield. However, the hybrid technology treatment for 9 min resulted in a significant yield increase of almost 60 %. This improvement can be attributed to the stability, solubility, and absorption of products resulting from plasma treatment, as well as the antimicrobial and anti-algae effects of both technologies. Additionally, an increase in flavonoid and potassium content and a decrease in iron were observed in plants grown under optimal treatment. Overall, this study demonstrated the potential for synergy between plasma and nanobubble techniques in hydroponic culture.
