Exogenous curcumin alleviates salt stress in lavender plants: a physiological and biochemical investigation.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This work aimed to study the responses of Lavandula angustifolia (subspecies officinalis and angustifolia) to salt stress and curcumin (Cur). Salt stress was imposed by NaCl at different concentrations (0, 100, and 200 mM) with or without Cur (100 mg/L). Salt stress significantly inhibited growth in both subspecies (subsp.). However, subsp. officinalis was more NaCl sensitive and attained lower biomass under salt stress than subsp. angustifolia. Proline accumulation and reduction of chlorophylls were detected in both subsp. exposed to salt stress. An increment in malondialdehyde (MDA) content in stressed plants confirmed that salt stress led to oxidative damage in both subspecies. Exogenous application of Cur clearly improved growth in both subsp. under saline conditions, and this improvement was more obvious in subsp. angustifolia. Reduction in MDA content by Cur was observed in subsp. angustifolia at all the salinity levels. Amelioration of growth under salt stress by Cur can be explained by induction in chlorophylls, proteins and flavonols content in subsp. angustifolia and by induction in activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POX) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and content of total phenolics, flavonols and anthocyanins in subsp. officinalis. Overall, Cur regulated physiological and biochemical processes in lavender plants and aided to salt tolerance.
