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
backgroundSelenium-coated chitosan nanoparticles (CTS-Se NPs) have been proposed as innovative engineered nanoparticles with the potential to alleviate various abiotic stresses, thereby enhancing plant growth and productivity. However, evidence of their efficacy remains limited. In this study, the effects of CTS-Se NPs (10 and 20 mg L⁻¹), along with CTS NPs (0.1%) and Se (20 mg L⁻¹), were evaluated for their potential to mitigate lead (Pb)-induced stress (0, 50, 100 mg kg⁻¹) on key agronomic and physio-biochemical traits of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Sultana).
resultsThe findings clearly revealed that the application of CTS-Se NPs under Pb-stress conditions led to increased leaf and root biomass, enhanced photosynthetic capacity, elevated levels of proline, phenols, essential metals, and major enzymatic antioxidants, while significantly reducing lead content and cellular stress markers.
conclusionCTS-Se NPs hold significant potential as innovative functionalized nanomaterials for use in sustainable agriculture, promoting stress-resilient crops like grapevine. By enhancing stress resilience, CTS-Se NPs can help achieve more stable crop yields while reducing reliance on chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Additionally, their capability for targeted delivery of nutrients or bioactive compounds positions them as a valuable asset for precision agriculture, fostering healthier plant growth and improved fruit quality in grapevines, all while supporting environmentally friendly and sustainable farming practices.
