Optimal Selenium Fertilizer Affects the Formation of Foxtail Millet (
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In order to clarify the regulation mechanism of selenium (Se) on foxtail millet quality formation and metabolism, the effects of different Se fertilizers (no application of S1, optimal for Se S2, high Se S3) on yield, quality, and metabolic characteristics of Jingu 21 and Jingu 40 (Se-rich varieties) were studied. The results showed that S2 treated foxtail millet yield was the highest, the content of fat and starch in Jingu 21 increased, the content of protein decreased, the content of protein in Jingu 40 increased, and the content of starch and fiber decreased. S3 treatment reduced the content of fat and fiber and increased the content of starch. The peak viscosity and breakdown value of Jingu 21 decreased under S2 treatment. Metabolomics analysis revealed that S2 promoted flavonoid accumulation (Taxifolin, Epicatechin, etc.) and inhibition of L-histidine expression in Jingu 21 by regulating flavonoid and histidine metabolism pathways, leading to reduced protein content, increased fat and starch content, and lower peak viscosity and breakdown value, thereby affecting foxtail millet quality formation. S2 treatment activated the stilbenoid, diarylheptanoid, and gingerol biosynthesis pathways of Jingu40, reducing the synthesis of demethoxycurcumin and chlorogenic acid, increasing protein content and decreasing fat content. S3 treatment activated the tyrosine metabolism pathway of Jingu40, up-regulated L-tyrosine and gentisic acid expression, which increased protein content and decreased fat content, thus affecting foxtail millet quality. This study provides a theoretical basis for the safe use of foxtail millet Se fertilizer, high-quality cultivation, and the development of Se-enriched functional foods.
