Dose-dependent hormetic-like effects of green-synthesized AgNPs on Salvia officinalis: a biochemical and morphophysiological perspective.
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
Certain heavy metals can act as stimulatory agents by inducing mild stress responses when applied at optimal levels. In this study, we investigated whether green-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) induce hormetic-like, dose-dependent responses in sage (Salvia officinalis L.), integrating germination performance, morphophysiological traits, and secondary metabolite profiling. AgNPs were synthesized using a Lavandula officinalis L. flower extract-mediated green synthesis approach and characterized prior to application, with an average particle size of approximately 24 nm based on SEM image analysis. Germination parameters were monitored over an 8 days period, and growth and phytochemical traits were assessed after 3 months. The 200 ppm treatment was associated with the highest germination performance (Germination Index: 461.25; Germination Vigor Index: 36.4), whereas the 100 ppm treatment coincided with enhanced vegetative growth parameters, including dry matter content (20%), leaf area (11.77 mm⁻
