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

This research examines the influence of exogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) on growth parameters and cadmium stress resistance in Sorghum bicolor (L. Moench). The plants were grown in pots, each filled with 4.5 kg of sand. After 21 days, root treatment with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was applied using five concentrations (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 µM) under three cadmium (Cd) levels (0, 40, and 80 ppm). Applied Cadmium stress significantly reduced plant growth, with reductions in root length (12.73-15.88%), shoot length (17.60-19.25%), and plant height (10.62-14.88%). All growth parameters were improved with the application of 200 µM IAA, increasing root length (20.25-28.25%), shoot length (35.68-45.68%), and plant height (20.37%). The highest level of cadmium stress (80 ppm) was the most detrimental, while the 200 µM IAA treatment produced the most favorable results. Under cadmium stress, IAA application reduced the uptake of Na
