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

Foliar Zn-Se application is a promising strategy to alleviate human micronutrient deficiencies, yet their interaction during co-application remains unclear. Through field and pot experiments, we investigated Zn-Se antagonism in wheat across organ allocation, subcellular distribution, and transcriptomic regulation. Co-application decreased grain Se concentration while increasing Se allocation to leaves and reversed the positive correlation between grain Se and leaf-to-sheath translocation factor. Zn enhanced Se sequestration in leaf cell walls and soluble fractions. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that altered expression of key genes in related metabolic pathways, including SULTR3;4 and PHT2, leads to Se compartmentalization in leaves and restricts Se transfer to grains and accumulation. Despite antagonism, co-application produced grains meeting Zn and Se Recommended Nutrient Intake, enhanced antioxidant capacity, and posed low ecological risk upon straw return. These results elucidate a mechanistic framework for Zn inhibiting Se remobilization to grains and provide molecular targets for optimizing Zn-Se co-biofortification in wheat.
