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
Introduction: Soil salinity is a pressing global issue that undermines agricultural productivity, driving the search for salt-tolerant species and their adaptive strategies. Methods: In this study, we explored the physiological and transcriptomic adaptations of Results and discussion: Through morphological and biochemical analyses, we identified a salinity threshold of 5 ‰. Beyond this threshold, severe leaf senescence and plant death were observed. In physiological profiling, the malondialdehyde (MDA) and relative conductivity (REL) showed dose-dependent increases. Meanwhile, osmoprotectants like proline (PRO), soluble sugar (SS), and soluble protein (SP), as well as antioxidant enzyme activities including peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), were elevated. This indicates dynamic responses to osmotic and oxidative stress. Transcriptome sequencing revealed 3,858 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). GO and KEGG analyses showed that the commonly up-regulated genes were enriched in 'oxidoreductase activity' (GO:0016491) and 'phenylpropanoid biosynthesis' (ko00940), whereas down-regulated genes were enriched in 'cell-wall organization' (GO:0071554). Among the 421 differentially expressed transcription factors, ERF, WRKY and NAC families constituted 62% of the total, indicating their central role in the salt response. With Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), we first linked gene modules to physiological traits and found that the MEbrown (r = 0.67-0.99) positively and MEblue (r = -0.69 to -0.98) negatively drives osmoprotectant/antioxidant activation. From these modules, 12 hub genes -especially
