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

Plants inhabiting saline areas develop specific morpho-anatomical and physiological features to survive. Sporobolus ioclados is among the few grass species that dominate highly saline habitats. This is a salt excretory species and can potentially be important for phytoremediation of salt-affected lands. Three ecotypes of Sporobolus ioclados (Trin.) Nees (DF-Derawar Fort (LSE), BD-Bailahwala Dahar (MSE), LS-Ladam Sir) from the Cholistan Desert were evaluated to investigate structural and functional modifications for salt tolerance under controlled conditions in hydroponic growth medium using half-strength Hoagland's nutrient solution. Three salinity (NaCl) treatments were provided, namely 0 (control), 150, and 300 mM. All three ecotypes showed different structural and physiological modifications under salinity stress. Structural and functional traits were more developed in the HSE. Modifications. Structural features include intensity of sclerification and thicker leaves. Functional features were high concentration of toxic ions excretion, organic osmolytes accumulation, and maintenance of leaf turgor, photosynthesis and water use efficiency. All these confer it an excellent material for the phytoremediation as well as revegetation of highly saline lands.
