Integrating molecular mechanisms and agronomic strategies for selenium biofortification in horticultural crops.
Review in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Selenium (Se) is an essential element for humans. Biologically, it is incorporated into selenoproteins, which play crucial roles in thyroid hormone metabolism, immune system regulation, and antioxidant capacity. However, Se deficiency is a global health concern, affecting over 1 billion individuals, and the production of Se-fortified crops is inevitable. As a way forward, the biofortification of horticultural crops could improve Se nutrition. For plants, Se is a beneficial element, and crops exhibit significant variation in their ability to uptake Se which is also influenced by soil pH. Therefore, this review focuses on recent advancements in Se biofortification technologies for horticultural crops, including soil and foliar application methods, and explores the physiological processes and genetic mechanisms underlying Se uptake, transport, and assimilation in these crops. Furthermore, the effectiveness of different Se-salts in the regulation of Se levels in crops has been discussed, with special emphasis on the mechanisms involved.
