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
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) have recently been used to alleviate arsenic (As) phytotoxicity in crops. However, no comparative research has assessed the potential of chemically and biologically synthesized ZnO-NPs in wheat varieties under As stress. Therefore, the present study conducted a comparative assessment of two ZnO-NPs to alleviate As stress in two wheat varieties (BARANI-70 and NARC-2009). In a hydroponic experiment (28-30 days), varieties were exposed to arsenate stress (200 uM/L), chemically synthesized ZnO-NPs, and biologically synthesized ZnO-NPs (100 mg/L and 200 mg/L). The present study performed histological analyses to assess the role of ZnO-NPs in alleviating As stress at the cellular level. Furthermore, the quantification of zinc (Zn) and As was carried out in wheat tissues. The present research examined the activities of antioxidant enzymes and secondary metabolites in alleviating As-induced oxidative stress by ZnO-NPs. Chemically synthesized NPs (100 mg/L) lowered oxidative stress markers (MDA, H Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12298-025-01590-6.
