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

Aluminum toxicity is one of the primary stresses limiting plant growth in acidic soils, mainly through the induction of oxidative damage and disruption of hormone-mediated developmental pathways. Melatonin (MT), a critical endogenous plant regulator, has been demonstrated to enhance plant tolerance to various abiotic stresses; however, its molecular mechanisms in alleviating aluminum stress remain to be further elucidated. In this study, celery (Apium graveolens L.) was used as the experimental material, and physiological phenotype analysis combined with transcriptome sequencing was performed to systematically explore the alleviative role of MT under aluminum stress and its molecular basis. The results showed that aluminum stress significantly inhibited the growth and development of celery, whereas melatonin treatment markedly promoted biomass accumulation and root growth, thereby effectively alleviating the growth inhibition caused by aluminum toxicity. Specifically, MT treatment significantly increased plant height (by 6.7%) and root activity (by 250.9%) while reducing oxidative damage, as evidenced by decreased H
