Defining the Molecular Impacts of Humalite Application on Field-Grown Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Using Quantitative Proteomics.
Article in Proteomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Increasing global food production demands have resulted in increased fertilizer usage, causing detrimental environmental impacts. Biostimulants, such as humic substances, are currently being applied as a strategy to increase plant nutrient-use efficiency and minimize environmental impacts within cropping systems. One of these biostimulants is Humalite, which is a unique, naturally occurring coal-like substance found in deposits across southern Alberta. These deposits contain exceptionally high ratios of humic acids (>70%) and micronutrients due to their unique freshwater depositional environment. Humalite has begun to be applied to fields based on scientific data suggesting positive impacts on crop growth, yield, and nutrient usage; however, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms of Humalite. Here, as part of a larger field study, we report a quantitative proteomics approach to identify systems-level molecular changes induced by the addition of different Humalite application rates in field-grown wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under three urea fertilizer application rates. In particular, we see wide-ranging abundance changes in proteins associated with several metabolic pathways and growth-related biological processes that suggest how Humalite modulates the plant molecular landscape. Overall, our results provide new, functional information that will help better inform agricultural producers on optimal biostimulant and fertilizer usage.
