Integrating Desert Sand Utilization in Saltwater Aqua-Vegeculture Production: Performance Evaluation of Yield and Biochemical Composition.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundSaline aquaponics integrates fish and crop cultivation in saltwater environments by utilizing abundant saltwater resources. The integrated aqua vegeculture system (iAVs) shows promise for water conservation and environmental resilience.
objectiveTo evaluate lettuce growth in iAVs with varying salt levels and investigate how saltwater impacts the biochemical properties and growth of both fish and lettuce.
methodsOver four months, iAVs were incorporated into an existing aquaponic system with lettuce (
resultsIncreased salinity did not affect the fish growth parameters, with a 90% survival rate across all groups. Higher salinity levels potentially improve fish farming efficiency. Lettuce growth was optimal in freshwater, with promising results at the T2 and T3 levels, but T4 had negative effects. Proximate composition analysis showed a decline in lettuce nutritional elements as the saltwater concentration increased.
conclusionThis approach could transform food production in coastal regions and arid nations, addressing food security and water scarcity issues while alleviating the pressure on freshwater sources.
