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

MAIN

conclusionEnhanced Apiaceae germination performance by seed priming involves promoting pre-germination growth of the underdeveloped (small) embryos, reduction in hormone contents, and priming with abscisic acid (ABA) improved ageing resilience. Different seed priming technologies are used to improve germination performance and seedling vigour of vegetable crops. Daucus carota (carrot), Pastinaca sativa (parsnip), and other Apiaceae produce morphologically dormant single-seeded fruit halves (mericarps) as dispersal units. In mature mericarps, the underdeveloped (small) embryo is embedded in abundant endosperm tissue, and pre-germination embryo growth to a critical embryo:seed (E:S) length ratio is a requirement for the completion of germination by radicle emergence. We investigated how hydropriming and additive priming with gibberellins (GA), abscisic acid (ABA), and gas plasma-activated water (GPAW) affected carrot and parsnip mericarp germination and ageing sensitivity accessed using a wet ageing assay (80% RH, 42 °C). Carrot and parsnip mericarp priming enhanced germination speed (germination rate GR
