Response of seed germination and seedling growth of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) to drought, salinity, and pH in Karst regions.

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
Seed germination and seedling growth are crucial for the successful establishment and reproduction of plants in heterogeneous environments, especially in the ecologically fragile karst regions. Despite the ecological importance of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) as a forage resource and its role in mitigating rocky desertification, studies addressing the effects of karst-specific environmental factors on its early growth stages are limited. This study is the first to simulate karst soil conditions to evaluate the impacts of drought (0-0.53 MPa), salinity (0-150 mM), and pH (pH 3-9) on seed germination and seedling growth of perennial ryegrass. The results showed that under different drought stresses, water potentials ranging from 0 to - 0.32 MPa had no significant effect on seed germination. However, water potentials of - 0.06 MPa and - 0.17 MPa significantly promoted root and shoot growth, as well as increased biomass. In the salt stress experiment, CaCl
