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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesUnderstanding metabolome adjustment under saline-alkaline conditions is crucial for enhancing crop tolerance capacity and ensuring food security. Although soil salinization impairs wheat seedlings' growth, metabolome plasticity under saline-alkaline stress remains poorly understood. Here, we delved into dynamic physiological and metabolome shifts in wheat seedlings grown on SAS (saline-alkaline soil) on the 7th and 15th days post-germination (DPG).

methodsA self-developed and cultivated high-generation salt-alkali wheat variety (011) was grown on SAS and control soil, followed by comparative physiological, biochemical, and metabolomics analyses of seedlings.

resultsThe seedlings' saline-alkaline stress responses were developmentally regulated with reduced growth, increasing accumulation of proline and soluble sugars, and differential antioxidant response. LC-MS-based global metabolomics analysis revealed significant metabolite profile differences, with 367 and 485 differential metabolites identified on the 7th and 15th DPG, respectively, between control and treatment. Upregulation of saccharides, flavonoids, organic acids (citrate cycle-related), phenolic acids, amino acids and derivatives, phytohormones, and sphingolipid metabolism was essential for seedlings' growth on SAS. The key induced metabolites in seedlings grown on SAS include saccharic acid, trehalose, sucrose, glucose, L-citramalic acid, phellodendroside, scutellarin, anthranilate-1-

conclusionsOur findings highlight the importance of ABA and jasmonic acid in regulating salt-alkali tolerance in wheat seedlings. Moreover, this study depicts key pathways involved in salt-alkali tolerance in wheat seedlings and unveils key DMs, offering resources for boosting wheat production on SAS.
