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

backgroundA hydroponic study was conducted to evaluate whether grafting with some hybrid tomato rootstock could enhance tolerance to salinity of some local tomato scion genotypes and verify morpho-physiological, and biochemical reactions stimulated by rootstocks under salinity. Plants were tested at control (1.5 dS m

resultsSalinity led to significant decline in plant growth and biomass accumulation as compared to control conditions, confirming the detrimental influences of stress on crop development. Conversely, salt-tolerant rootstocks enhanced biomass production under salinity, indicating a substantial contribution of rootstock genotype to growth performance and yield formation. Grafting noticeably alleviated salt stress, with ATS06 enhancing leaf number by up to 51.5%, shoot and root dry biomasses by 56.8% and 73.5%, SPAD by ~ 40%, total leaf area by 74.8%, and fruit fresh weight by up to 261.9%, while improving P

conclusionSalinity markedly restricted plant growth; however, grafting onto tolerant rootstocks effectively mitigated these adverse effects. ATS06 and Ege 50 demonstrated strong potential to enhance plant performance and salt tolerance through complementary yet genotype-dependent leaf physiological, root morphological and nutritional mechanisms. These traits could be useful characteristics to select 'salt-tolerant' tomato rootstocks for sustainable horticulture in the future.
