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.
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
Deforestation and environmental degradation increase the need for effective strategies to improve seedling establishment in ecological restoration programs, particularly under high irradiance conditions. Although processed kaolin particle film (PKPF) has been widely used to mitigate abiotic stress in agricultural crops, its potential application to native forest species during restoration remains poorly understood. This study evaluated the effects of PKPF on anatomical, ultrastructural, and biometric traits of Cordia superba and Citharexylum myrianthum, two native Atlantic Forest species commonly used in restoration projects. Seedlings were grown under full sunlight with or without PKPF application and compared with greenhouse-grown plants. PKPF reduced leaf temperature, preserved chloroplast and mitochondrial ultrastructure, and promoted the accumulation of starch grains and plastoglobules. These responses indicate improved maintenance of cellular integrity and energy metabolism under high irradiance, contributing to enhanced stress tolerance during seedling establishment. Growth responses were more pronounced in C. superba, whereas C. myrianthum exhibited greater intrinsic tolerance to light stress. Overall, the results demonstrate that PKPF mitigates the adverse effects of excessive solar radiation by protecting cellular structures associated with photosynthetic performance and supporting seedling development. This study provides novel evidence for the use of kaolin-based technologies in native forest species and highlights their potential to improve restoration success under increasingly challenging environmental conditions.
