Zinc oxide seed priming enhances drought tolerance in wheat seedlings by improving antioxidant activity and osmoprotection.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Drought can affect all growth stages and has a significant effect on seed germination, which affects all physiological and metabolic germination processes. It also leads to dehydration, which increases the oxidation of lipids and membranes and disrupts the functioning of biomolecules in plants. Zinc is an essential element for several enzymes involved in metabolism, cell elongation, preservation of the strength and integrity of cell membranes, seed development, and resistance to environmental stress. A pot experiment was conducted to determine how ZnO seed priming, either in the form of ZnO NPs (nanopriming) or ZnO bulk priming (60 mg L
