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

This study evaluates the potential of green-synthesized curcumin nanoparticles (Cur-NPs) for mitigating arsenic (As) stress in wheat cultivars Barani-70 and NARC-09. Cur-NPs were characterized by UV-visible spectrophotometry, XRD (36 nm), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), revealing well-dispersed, amorphous structures and functional groups. Both cultivars were subjected to 10 mg/L arsenic stress and treated with Cur-NPs at 50 mg/L and 100 mg/L through soil and foliar applications. Cur-NPs reduced arsenic uptake by up to 65.01% in leaves and 77.32% in roots. Cur-NP treatments lowered MDA by 50% and H Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12298-025-01615-0.
