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

By interfering with germination, seedling development, physiological processes, and the buildup of toxins in plant tissues, lead (Pb) contamination significantly hinders tomato growth. This study explores the effectiveness of zinc (Zn) seed priming and foliar application in mitigating Pb-induced stress and enhancing physiological performance in tomato plants. A lab experiment was conducted to assess tomato seed germination and seedling growth under Pb stress with Zn priming and foliar application. Pb stress significantly impaired the germination properties of tomato seeds. With improvements in germination percentage, germination index, germination energy, and seed vigor index, Zn application markedly enhanced germination properties. Moreover, Pb stress severely impaired plant growth, water content, photosynthetic pigments, and ionic contents (Ca
