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

Drought stress is a critical issue in agricultural crops as it can affect crop development, growth, physiological processes and yield. To meet nutritional needs amid rapidly dwindling water resources, it is crucial to adopt precise and efficient strategies through various amendments. Organic treatments such as biochar and the growth hormone auxin (IAA) can play a vital role in this regard. However, it is necessary to refine the existing amendment strategies to attain improved outcomes. Therefore, the present study used Penicillium citrinum-Loaded Biochar (PBC) with and without IAA as amendments under no drought stress in tomato plants. The effects of PBC and IAA on the tomato plants have been examine using several physiological, morphological and biochemical parameters. Results showed that plants sprayed with various doses (0, 10 ppm, 20 ppm, 40 ppm) of IAA and 3.0% (w/w) PBC increased root length (11.11 cm), shoot length (17.88 cm), plant height (38.12 cm), and leaf surface area (40.77 cm
