A comparative study of nano-selenium and selenite in alleviating drought stress in rice by regulating ion homeostasis.
Article in BMC plant biology, 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
Drought stress is a major constraint on the safe and stable production of rice, and the use of selenium (Se) to enhance crop stress resistance has emerged as a promising agronomic strategy. To examine the effects of different selenium forms and application methods on the drought tolerance of rice, this study applied selenite and nano selenium (Nano-Se) through seed coating and seed priming, respectively. Drought stress was simulated under hydroponic conditions using Polyethylene glycol-6000 (PEG-6000). The results showed that Nano-Se treatment was more effective in mitigating growth inhibition, optimizing root architecture, maintaining photosynthetic efficiency, and improving leaf water status. Among the treatments, seed priming with 5 mg L
