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

This study evaluated the morphological and physiological responses of a turfgrass species, namely the common Axonopus compressus and its six new variants to three soil water conditions, aiming to understand the performance and resilience of this turfgrass under climate-driven drought pressures. We conducted an 8-week glasshouse experiment with seven variants (A-0, A-1, A-40, A-46, A-91, A-122, and A-D) under three soil water conditions: W1 (100% field capacity (FC)), W2 (80% FC), and W3 (40% FC, drought stress). It was observed that under drought condition, there were reductions in leaf length, leaf width and turf height, while root mass increased and shoot biomass decreased. Under three soil water conditions, A-40, A-46, and A-122 exhibited finer-textured morphological traits compared to other variants. Although most variants showed a reduction in chlorophyll content under drought stress, A-46 showed an increasing trend, with total chlorophyll increased by 49.6% and carotenoids doubled compared to the most sensitive variant. Furthermore, the levels of proline, soluble sugar, and malondialdehyde (MDA) increased under drought conditions. A-40 exhibited 20.1% lower MDA content compared to the highest. Additionally, higher levels of soluble protein and antioxidant enzyme activities, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) were observed in A-40, A-46, A-91, A-122, and A-D under drought stress. A-D exhibited 50.3% higher CAT activity, A-91 and A-122 showed about 30% higher POD activity respectively, compared to the most sensitive variant. This study demonstrates that A-40, A-46, A-122 and A-D possess improved morphological and physiological adaptations, showing enhanced tolerance to water stress in these new variants.
