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

Antimony (Sb), a non-essential heavy metal, exerts severe toxic effects on the growth and development of plants. This study investigated the response of Brassica napus to Sb(III) stress under hydroponic conditions, focusing on Sb accumulation, physiological indexes, and transcriptome sequencing. Sb accumulation in different B. napus varieties showed consistent trends with physiological indicators (SOD, POD, CAT, MDA) in XZY512 root tissue. Both parameters increased with Sb concentration, reaching a peak at 75 mg/L before declining, suggesting that 75 mg/L Sb may be the optimal concentration for B. napus adaptation. Transcriptomic analysis identified 8,802 genes in root tissues and 13,612 genes in leaf tissues responsive to Sb stress, predominantly involved in oxidative stress responses, ABC transporters, glutathione metabolism, plant hormone signaling, and MAPK pathways. Physiological index changes were associated with upregulation of genes linked to antioxidants, including as CATs, GPXs, PERs, and GSTUs, in root tissues, whereas photosynthesis-related genes were mostly downregulated in leaf tissues. This work shows the potential of B. napus for phytoremediation efforts and offers important insights into its response mechanisms to Sb stress.
