Mitigating salinity stress in Moringa oleifera through seaweed-derived biostimulants.
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
Climate change, food scarcity, salt stress, and a rapidly growing population are just a few of the significant global challenges. In arid and semi-arid regions worldwide, salt stress is a significant negative factor that can reduce seed germination and seedling growth, ultimately leading to decreased plant growth and crop productivity. Seaweed extracts are used as nutrient supplements or biofertilizers in agriculture to increase plant growth and yield. In this study, we examined the beneficial effects of foliar applications of seaweed extracts from Turbinaria ornata and Actinotrichia fragilis on the growth and performance of Moringa oleifera under salt stress (up to 300 mM) in a greenhouse. Exposure of Moringa to salinity stress resulted in an overall decrease in growth and the contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids, and soluble sugars, versus an increase in phenolic content. However, foliar application of A. fragilis and T. ornata extracts significantly improved the growth and physiology of Moringa under salt stress, with T. ornata exhibiting greater effectiveness. This study demonstrates that seaweed-based biofertilizers can enhance plant productivity while reducing reliance on chemical inputs, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative for agriculture.
