Dynamic physiology and transcriptomics revealed the alleviation effect of melatonin on
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Methods: In this study, we evaluated the physiological responses of Results: Our results demonstrate that melatonin at concentrations of 300μmol/L significantly enhances plant growth and promotes the accumulation of osmotic regulators. Notably, melatonin treatment increased the germination rate by 35.48% compared to the alkaline salt stress group, which exhibited a 52.15% lower germination rate than the untreated control. The key mechanism identified involves melatonin's ability to increase antioxidant enzyme activity, reduce reactive oxygen species and hydrogen peroxide levels, and alter gene expression patterns. Discussion: Transcriptomic analysis revealed significant changes in gene expression, particularly in photosynthetic signal transduction, phytohormone signaling, MAPK signaling, and the peroxisome pathway, which are crucial for the plant's response to alkaline salt stress. Our findings provide new insights into how melatonin affects plant growth, salt tolerance, seed germination, and gene expression in
