Alleviation of the effect of salinity on pomegranate seedlings by priming foliar spray of chitosan-silicon nanoparticles (CTS-SiO

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
backgroundToday, improving the nutritional status of plants using external supplements, particularly based on nanotechnology, is of great importance to compensate for the damage caused by abiotic stresses. Salinity is one of the chief environmental stresses limiting the growth and yield of crops by reducing the osmotic potential and disrupting the absorption of water and nutrients. The present study was conducted to compare the priming effect of foliar spraying the following treatments: silicon nanoparticles (SiO
resultsThe results showed that under salinity stress, foliar application of combined chitosan-silicon treatment provided a better role in moderating the negative effects of stress than the single use of these nanomaterials and improved seedling height (HT), diameter (DIA), leaf area (LAI), fresh and dry weight, chlorophyll a and carotenoid content, membrane stability index (MSI), APX, concentrations P, K, and K/Na ratio. The combined chitosan-silicon treatment also reduced the rate of electrolyte leakage (EL) under stress conditions. Chitosan foliar application alone increased leaf number (LN) and reduced nitrogen and hydrogen peroxide (H
conclusionsTherefore, it seems that the application of CTS-SiO
