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

Food crops are enriching with nutrients and useful compound but their growth and fruit quality decline with NaCl stress. Plant based nanoparticle are promising to maintain biomass and good quality fruit even in saline soils. This study tested the efficacy of Withania somnifera nanoparticles to maximize tomato growth and nutrition retentions under 150 mM NaCl. Plant treated with the ZnO nanoparticles extracted with W. somnifera enhanced most of the growth parameters under both control and saline condition. Water relations such as maximum relative water content were increased about 84% and electrolyte leakage by 54% with 20 mgL
