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

backgroundFertilization of plants with selenium (Se) can enhance their resistance to abiotic stresses and improve human health and nutrition. However, Se fertilization in olive trees remains underexplored. This study evaluated the effect of foliar sodium selenite fertilization on leaf Se content, oxidative stress, olive tree productivity, biofortification of extra virgin olive oils (EVOO), and their physicochemical and antioxidant attributes in two mature 'Arbequina' olive orchards.

resultsAlthough Se application did not affect fruit productivity, Se doses were related directly to total Se content in leaves. A slight increase in Se levels in EVOO was observed at the highest dose of sodium selenite applied. Lower levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were observed in leaves fertilized with 150 and 100 mg Se dm

conclusionSelenium application was effective in increasing Se concentration in leaves; however, it proved insufficient to enhance Se content in EVOO. Sodium selenite at the applied doses influenced oxidative stress parameters, exhibiting both antioxidant and pro-oxidant effects over time. © 2025 The Author(s).
