Concentration-dependent effects of boron fertilizer on growth, yield, and quality of buckwheat.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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: Boron is an essential trace element for plant growth and development, playing a critical role in flowering, fruit setting, nutrient transport, and stress resistance in crops. Buckwheat is an important coarse grain crop, and its yield and quality are easily affected by boron nutritional status. Methods: In order to identify the optimal concentration of boron fertilizer to maximize growth and yield of buckwheat, pot experiments and field trials were carried out at different mass concentrations of boron fertilizer solution: 0, 12, 24, 48, and 72 mg/L. Results: The results showed that 48 mg/L boron fertilizer solution promoted seed germination and seedling growth of Suqiao 1, whereas 24 mg/L boron fertilizer solution had the best effect on seed germination and seedling growth of 1412-69. Moreover, the levels of activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD) of Suqiao 1 seedlings were highest under the 48 mg/L boron fertilizer treatment, and those in 1412-69 were highest under the 24 mg/L treatment. The highest grain yield and grain quality of Suqiao 1 were found at a boron concentration of 48 mg/L, whereas grain yield and quality of 1412-69 were maximized at a concentration of 24 mg/L. Discussion: In summary, boron fertilizer solutions at optimal concentrations can effectively stimulate buckwheat seed germination and seedling growth and thus enhance buckwheat yield.
