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

Salinity stress is a major abiotic constraint limiting the growth, productivity, and essential oil quality of medicinal and aromatic plants, including lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus). Therefore, this study was conducted during the 2022 and 2023 seasons to evaluate the effects of different salinity levels and silicon nanoparticle (SiNPs) applications on vegetative growth, rhizome characteristics, nutrient status, and essential oil yield and composition of lemongrass plants. The experiment aimed to (i) assess the impact of irrigation water salinity (0.7, 2, 4, and 6 dS m
