Impact of salinity on the morpho-biochemical traits of hydroponically cultivated
Article in Biotechnologia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Materials and methods: Spinach seeds were sown on coco peat, and after 10 days, the seedlings were transferred to the hydroponic setup. The plants were treated with salt concentrations of ECe 0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, and 12.0 ds/m, and various morpho-biochemical parameters were assessed at 10-day intervals. Results: In the control group, seed germination was 59.6 ± 1.45%, while increasing salt concentrations (4 to 10 dS/m) progressively reduced germination (50 ± 1.2% to 14 ± 2%). Root and shoot lengths (root: 14.16 ± 0.19 cm; shoot: 4.23 ± 0.28 cm at 4 dS/m), relative water content (47.5 ± 0.43% to 32.1 ± 0.86%), and leaf surface area (25.03 ± 0.26 to 9 ± 0.12 cm Conclusions: Therefore, it is concluded that spinach grown hydroponically can tolerate salt stress up to ECe 6.0 dS/m after 30 days of treatments, and more increased (8.0 to 12 dS/m) salt concentration that adversely affects overall morpho-biochemical performance.
