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

Peanut sprouts are recognized as a nutrient-dense functional food, rich in protein, soluble sugars, resveratrol, and bioactive compounds. Slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) and ultrasound treatments have emerged as promising technologies for enhancing the efficiency and uniformity of peanut seed germination, which is critical for improving sprout yield and quality. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their synergistic effects remain elusive. This study investigated the combined effects of SAEW and ultrasound on peanut germination using integrated metabolomics and proteomics. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was employed to identify and quantify treatment-altered metabolites and proteins during germination. The results indicated that SAEW promoted the initiation of peanut seed germination primarily through the induction of oxidative stress and inhibition of abscisic acid (ABA), while ultrasound primarily activates energy metabolism. The synergistic effect of SAEW and ultrasound was found to enhance oxidative stress and inhibit ABA expression, leading to suppression of energy metabolism pathways, including the citric acid cycle and glycerophospholipid metabolism. This study provided insights into the synergistic mechanism of SAEW-ultrasound treatment in enhancing peanut germination.
