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
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) can enhance zinc bioavailability in plants, improving crop nutritional quality and addressing global zinc deficiency. This study aimed to investigate the effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs), obtained by a green synthesis method, on the growth, yield parameters, and zinc content of rice plants. In the study, two different application strategies of ZnO-NPs on rice plants were evaluated, i.e., foliar spray and seed priming. To compare the effects of these application strategies, rice plants were treated with ZnO-NPs at two different concentrations, 25 mg/L and 50 mg/L. Effects of ZnO-NPs on plant growth (shoot and root length, fresh and dry mass), chlorophyll and carotenoid content, grain yield and zinc content were investigated. The results showed that both ZnO-NP application methods increased rice growth and yield, especially the combined method (seed priming + foliar spray) provided the highest efficiency. It was observed that seed zinc content was increased up to 10% by seed priming method and foliar spray application increased the zinc content up to 23% while the combination of seed priming and foliar spray increased zinc content up to 122%. In general, applications at 50 mg/L concentration increased more than 25 mg/L. These results indicate that ZnO-NPs can be an effective tool for zinc deficiency management in agricultural practices and can improve the yield and nutritional content of staple foods such as rice.
