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

The focus of the present research is to evaluate the influence of a static magnetic field (SMF) on the germination and early growth of four soybean cultivars (Adelfia, Adessa, Pamela, and Abelina). Seeds were exposed to magnetic induction of 250 mT and 500 mT for 3 and 12 min. The results demonstrate that SMF treatment significantly enhanced seed vigour and germination kinetics, particularly in cultivars with lower initial quality (Adelfia, Pamela). The most pronounced improvement in the Seed Vigour Index (SVI) was observed in cv. Adessa (77.9% increase) and cv. Adelfia (74.4% increase) under 500 mT for 3 min compared to the control (p < 0.05), without exposure to the SMF. While the highest absolute vigour values were achieved by cv. Abelina under 250 mT and 500 mT for 3 min. Therefore, the study highlights that shorter exposure times (3 min) are more effective across all genotypes. These findings suggest that SMF can serve as an efficient, non-chemical tool for seed invigoration in sustainable soybean production.
