1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: In recent years, nanocarriers have emerged as sophisticated platforms for the encapsulation and targeted delivery of agricultural chemicals, with particular emphasis on auxins. Owing to their remarkable potential to enhance bioavailability and optimize crop productivity, these nanotechnological systems have garnered considerable scientific interest. Methods: Here, the synthesis and efficacy of silver-cerium oxide (ceria) nanoparticles (Ag@CeO2 NPs) as a metal-oxide nanocarrier for loading the hormone indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and its effect on tobacco plant rooting were investigated. Tobacco plant stems were cultured in different concentrations of IBA-Ag@CeO2 NPs (1, 2, and 3 mgL-1) in plant culture medium, and rooting indices were evaluated after 4 weeks. Results and Discussion: The mean particle size (MPS) of IBAloaded Ag@CeO₂ nanoparticles was determined to be 389 nm via dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) further revealed that the nanoparticles possessed a predominantly spherical morphology, with a mean diameter of approximately 136 nm. The successful immobilization of IBA onto the Ag@CeO₂ nanocarriers was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), which identified the characteristic absorption peaks of the hormone on the nanoparticle surface. Moreover, the IBA loading process achieved a hormone loading efficiency (HLE) of 45% and an encapsulation efficiency (EE) of approximately 90%. The results showed that IBA-Ag@CeO2 NPs at a concentration of 2 mgL-1 had the highest efficiency in promoting the rooting of tobacco (
