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

Considering the present environmental concerns, nanomaterial-based methods should be applied to achieve the bioeconomic sustainability initiatives and climate change mitigation. Plants and plant extracts are one of the most underused biomass and bioactive ingredients resources. Moreover, nowadays crop loss is one of the main problems that the world faces, together with the depletion of natural resources, increasing population and limited arable land, leading to increased food scarcity and demand. To correctly attribute/use plant-based bioresources or to rapidly decide which farming operations should be performed before crop loss, we should be able to properly characterize plants or plant-based resources by the desired useful characteristics, such as (bio)chemical characteristics, rather than simply observing physical traits of plants (because, when these traits become visible, it may be too late for crop loss mitigation). Plant crops could be optimized, for example, using electrochemical methods that assess the nutrient uptake and nutrient use efficiency (NUE) or the oxidative stress burst encountered before crop loss, in order to improve crop yields and crop quality. Other different important analytes (such as hormones, pathogens, metabolites, etc.) or plant characteristics (such as genus, species, phylogenetic analysis, etc.) can be evaluated with these electrochemical sensors and methods. In the present review, we focus on the application of nanomaterials/nanotechnologies for the development of fast, accurate, accessible, cost-effective, sensitive and selective analytical electrochemical methods for the detection of different relevant biomolecules in plants or plant-related samples (plant extracts, plant cells, plant tissues, and/or plant-derived natural drinks/foods, as well as entire plants/plant parts), both
