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

backgroundGlyphosate is widely used in citrus production, but its overuse can cause oxidative stress and reduced growth in young orange trees. Silicon (Si), a beneficial element, strengthens antioxidant defense pathways and attenuates oxidative damage. However, its role in alleviating glyphosate-induced stress, particularly through the non-enzymatic antioxidant systems, remains unclear. This study examined whether Si application can reduce oxidative stress in young "Valencia" orange trees by enhancing non-enzymatic defenses, reducing oxidative stress indicators, and improving plant growth.

resultsIn an 8-month greenhouse experiment using a 4 × 2 factorial design, four glyphosate rates (0, 576, 1008 and 1440 g acid equivalent (a.e.) ha

conclusionSi application effectively mitigates glyphosate-induced oxidative stress in young orange trees by enhancing non-enzymatic antioxidant defenses, particularly carotenoids and phenolic compounds, while lowering MDA levels. These findings suggest Si as a sustainable strategy to improve herbicide tolerance and strengthen the citrus tree resilience.
