Effects of UV-C irradiation and Spirulina priming on physiology and sanitary quality in creole maize.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Salinity stress severely limits crop productivity, particularly in maize, necessitating innovative pre-sowing treatments that can enhance seed resilience and performance. This study evaluates the effects of pre-sowing treatments on the germination, physiological quality, salt stress tolerance, and fungal resistance of Zea mays (criollo maize) seeds. Three treatments were evaluated: (1) UV-C irradiation, the treatments applied were using four UV-C light prototypes (prototype irradiator 1 (commercial), prototypes 2, 3 and 4 made in-house at ESIME-Zacatenco) with radiation intensities of (1) 108, (2) 1,222, (3) 141 and (4) 1,515 mW/cm
