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

Nanotechnology offers several advantages over conventional inputs, with widespread application in agriculture. The current climate change crisis has accelerated the accumulation of salts in soils, which is a major challenge to global food security. Here, we synthesized fulvic acid-releasing chitosan nanoparticles (Ch-FANPs) for promoting soybean growth and salt stress tolerance. In a screening hydroponic experiment, 0.1 mM Ch-FANPs promoted plant growth and enhanced the growth parameters of pot-grown soybean plants significantly and modulated stomatal movement under control as well as salt stress conditions induced by 150 mM NaCl. Salt stress affected overall plant growth and reduced the chlorophyll content. However, plants treated with Ch-FANPs not only accumulated significantly higher chlorophyll under both control and salt conditions but also enhanced several above- and below-ground growth parameters by more than 50%. Interestingly, the Ch-FANP-treated salt-exposed plants accumulated ~30% less soluble proteins than untreated salt-stressed plants. Ch-FANPs-mediated protection against salt stress was related to the activation of antioxidant machinery as the highest ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity was recorded in Ch-FANPs-treated salt-stressed plants along with significantly low MDA and H
