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

Nickel acts as a hormetic micronutrient at low concentration by stimulating certain physiological responses. However, it triggers oxidative stress at higher levels, negatively affecting plant growth and overall productivity. This study evaluated the Ni-stress alleviation potential of five different strains of Trichoderma. Two wheat cultivars (BARS-2009 and Sarsabz) were exposed to Ni stress at 100 mg/kg, both alone and in combination with Trichoderma inoculation, and assessed for physio-biochemical parameters including antioxidants, photosynthetic activity, anatomical responses, agronomic traits and grain quality. Results showed that Ni stress intensified oxidative stress as evidenced by elevated H
