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

backgroundNanoparticles show a great potential in enhancing crop stress tolerance, but their role in mitigating herbicide damage to rice remains unclear.

resultsThis study synthesized melatonin-trehalose-selenium nanoparticles (MT-SeNPs) with 21 nm particle size, exhibited good stability and in vitro antioxidant activity. Under butachlor stress, compared with water priming, MT-SeNPs priming significantly alleviated the phytotoxic symptoms in rice and reduced butachlor residues by 21.72-50.55%. Integrated physiological and multi-omics analyses revealed that MT-SeNPs activated phenylpropanoid biosynthesis by upregulating the expression of lignin-biosynthetic genes, increasing the activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, cinnamoyl-CoA reductase, cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase, peroxidase enzymes (the enzyme activity increased by 22.94-49.57%, 56.02-56.60%, 26.20-37.08% and 41.30-152.66% at 3 to 5 days after butachlor stress, respectively), and promoting the accumulation of l-phenylalanine, trans-ferulic acid, sinapyl alcohol, thereby promoting deposition of lignin and cellulose. Additionally, MT-SeNPs enhanced the activities of detoxification enzyme (cytochrome P450, glutathione S-transferase, glycosyltransferase), activated glutathione metabolism.

conclusionMT-SeNPs may mitigate butachlor phytotoxicity by reinforcing cell-wall barriers and accelerating herbicide metabolism. This study provides a new strategy for using nanomaterials to relieve herbicide damage. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
