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: Iron (Fe) content in soil can influence rice cultivation, inciting responses ranging from deficiency to toxicity. Fe toxicity is a major constraint, particularly in areas where acidic soils predominate. Grain Fe content along with Zn is a major contemporary breeding objective in rice in order to tackle micronutrient deficiency. There is no information available on the influence of soil Fe levels, normal and excess, can influence grain micronutrient contents, particularly in rice genotypes that are tolerant to excess soil Fe. Methods: In this study, a subset of 170 rice germplasm lines from the 3K panel were evaluated for grain Fe and Zn concentrations in brown rice across three different locations. Additionally, the response of these lines to Fe toxicity was assessed at one location. Results: Significant phenotypic variation for both traits was observed. Fe toxicity led to increased grain Fe content but decreased Fe uptake efficiency (IAE), suggesting an adaptive mechanism to limit excess Fe absorption in the rhizosphere. Five significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with grain Fe ( Discussion: These validated MTAs provide valuable genetic resources for biofortification breeding programs aimed at increasing Fe and Zn concentrations in rice grains, addressing micronutrient deficiencies among rice-dependent populations.
