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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsDrought and salinity are major abiotic factors limiting plant growth in arid regions and always co-occur. However, the response mechanisms of Atriplex canescens to drought and salinity, particularly their coupled stress, remain incompletely understood. To reveal the stress endurance thresholds and facilitate sustainable utilization in arid and saline lands, this research explores various responses of A. canescens to different intensities of drought, salinity and their coupled action.

methodsA meta-analysis was performed based on research published between January 1970 and September 2025. In this research, we identified light, moderate and severe stress of drought with 60-80, 40-60 and 0-40 % of field water capacity (FWC) and electrical conductivity (EC) ≤ 8, 8-16 and >16 dS m-1 for salinity. KEY

results(1) The drought and salt tolerance thresholds of A. canescens are 0-40 % FWC and >16 dS m-1, respectively. (2) Atriplex canescens increases its root-to-shoot ratio to adapt to increased osmotic potential caused by severe drought and increases proline to cope with increased osmotic potential caused by severe salinity. (3) Coupled drought and salinity stress is more favourable for dry matter accumulation than their single stresses; however, it can intensify ionic toxicity and amplify oxidative stress.

conclusionsIrrigating A. canescens with an appropriate amount of brackish water can help improve and sustainably utilize salt-affected lands. Still, it is necessary to control ion toxicity and oxidative stress.
