Silicon Is Linked to Tea Quality Through Alteration Aluminum Uptake and Translocation in
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aluminum (Al) is involved in almost all aspects of abiotic stress and is supposed to play a crucial role in tea quality. Both exogenous Al and silicon (Si) influence Al uptake, translocation, and accumulation in considerable quantify plants. However, the relationship between Si-mediated Al uptake and tea quality has not been systematically investigated. In this study, we found that Si supply affected caffeine, free amino acids, and Al in young leaves and tea infusion. Si increased the Al content in secondary roots, but it also decreased the ratio of young leaves to secondary roots, with this decreasing ratio becoming more pronounced at higher Al supply levels. Furthermore, Si reduced the Al absorption rate at a constant pH and down-regulated the value of the Michaelis constant (Km). These analyses demonstrate that Si regulates the Al absorption rate and distribution in tea plants-that is, the ratio of Al content in young tea leaves to that in the secondary roots, thereby influencing the concentrations of caffeine, free amino acid, and Al solubility in tea infusions.
