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

backgroundArsenic (As) stress severely impairs plant growth and physiology, resulting in diminished crop quality and yield. Nitric oxide (NO) has been found to alleviate heavy metal toxicity effectively. This study aims to examine how NO donor sodium nitroprusside (50 µM) in conjunction with different arsenic levels (10 µM and 25 µM) affect the growth of diploid and autotetraploid rice.

resultsWhen exposed to As (25 µM), diploid rice showed reductions in root length (29.71%), shoot length (33.40%), fresh root weight (83.62%), and fresh shoot weight (79.06%), whereas tetraploid rice showed reductions by 18.58%, 18.46%, 60.00%, and 54.19% of the control, respectively. Notably, tetraploid rice absorbed less As than diploid rice. NO application mitigated As toxicity, particularly at As (10 µM), while showing weaker effects at As (25 µM). Chlorophyll contents, i.e., a, b, and carotenoids, decreased significantly under As stress, whereas NO application elevated chlorophyll levels. Due to toxicity, the levels of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, POD, and CAT) were lower in diploids than in tetraploid, while H

conclusionsIn brief, tetraploid rice exhibited greater As tolerance than diploid rice, with NO proving effective in regulating physiological and biochemical processes and mitigating As toxicity.
