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

Salinity-induced dormancy associated with fungal infection during germination in plants is the major contributor to abiotic and biotic stress, leading to a loss in crop productivity. The present study has been designed to evaluate the dual functions of Cymbopogon citratus-derived silver nanoparticles (CC-AgNPs) for enhancing the germination and prevention of Aspergillus niger (ATCC 6275) infection in seeds of Brassica juncea. AgNPs were synthesized using the cell-free aqueous extract of C. citratus followed by their characterization using LC-MS at variable voltage for trace level detection of compounds responsible for bio-reduction. The extract contained metabolites belonging to alkaloids, flavonoids, amino acid, and saponins. UV-Vis spectra revealed AgNP synthesis with a peak at 430 nm and stability for up to 180 days. Additionally, FTIR peaks demonstrated the presence of capped bioactive as reducing and stabilizing agents. TEM analysis depicted an AgNP size of 33 nm and spherical. Salt-stressed B. juncea seeds were primed with 100 ppm of CC-AgNPs, which significantly increased the germination rates and total seedling growth. This has been mainly favored by the restoration of proteins involved in germination, the antioxidant potential of green nano-silver, along with ameliorating amylase activity (15.53 ± 0.3 mg g
