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
Climate change is intensifying the frequency and severity of abiotic stresses that threaten global food security by reducing crop productivity. Among these, saline stress poses a serious threat to barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) production. These conditions are increasingly prevalent in arid and semiarid regions, as well as in regions with limited access to freshwater resources, making the identification of salt tolerance genes essential for breeding resilient varieties. In this study, we evaluated 400 genotypes from the barley nested association mapping population HEB-25 under control conditions and 40% seawater irrigation to simulate moderate-to-high salinity stress. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to identify alleles from wild barley [H. vulgare L. subsp. spontaneum (C. Koch) Thell.] associated with enhanced salt tolerance. Phenotypic evaluation included germination percentage (Ger%), shoot length (SL), root length (RL), root-shoot length ratio, seedling fresh weight, seedling dry weight, and salt tolerance index of the different traits. The HEB-25 families exhibited significant variation in seedling responses to seawater-induced salinity, with contrasting effects on SL, RL, and dry weight. Compared to the elite parental Barke, several genotypes demonstrated high tolerance under seawater stress, maintaining stable Ger% and exhibiting the highest tolerance indices. Moreover, GWAS results identified 60 highly significant single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with seedling growth parameters under both conditions. These findings underscore the value of the HEB-400 panel as a genetic resource for dissecting salinity tolerance mechanisms, identifying stress-adaptive alleles lost during domestication and a source of pre-breeding material for developing genotypes with enhanced salinity tolerance.
