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
backroundSalinity stress severely limits citrus growth by impairing root development and physiological functions. Therefore, understanding of the mechanisms underlying root system architecture (RSA) adaptation in orange seedlings is crucial for enhancing their resilience to salinity in subtropical regions. The research was conducted to unravel the role of salinity, together with foliar spraying of chitosan/selenium nanoparticles (CS/Se NPs), on nutrient uptake and RSA in Citrus sinensis is examined. Valencia orange seedlings received foliar spraying treatments of distilled water (control), chitosan (CS), selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs), and a CS/Se NPs composite at two levels (10 and 20 mg L
resultsExposure to intense salinity markedly increased sodium (Na) accumulation while reducing potassium (K), the K/Na ratio, calcium (Ca), the Ca/Na ratio, and magnesium (Mg) levels in roots. Additionally, salinity stress negatively affected RSA traits, including total root length, root surface area, and lateral root formation, relative to non-saline conditions. In contrast, treated seedlings with CS, Se NPs, and the CS/Se NPs composite demonstrated lower Na concentrations, enhanced nutrient accumulation, and improved RSA parameters. Remarkably, foliar spraying of CS/Se NPs at 10 mg L
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that CS/Se NPs, with the 10 mg L
