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

Background: Basil is a high-value aromatic and medicinal plant widely recognized for its rich composition of bioactive compounds with applications in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. This study aimed to evaluate the physiological responses, growth, and production of bioactive compounds in baby leaf basil cultivated in a hydroponic system supplemented with B-complex vitamins. Methods: The experiment was conducted under a controlled environment using a randomized block design with four treatments: control, nicotinamide, thiamine, and pyridoxine. Plants were assessed 14 days after sowing for gas exchange parameters, biometric traits, biomass accumulation, leaf pigments, and bioactive compounds, including phenolics, flavonoids, tannins, antioxidant activity, and sun protection factor. Results: Vitamin supplementation reduced intercellular CO Conclusion: Hydroponic supplementation with B vitamins, particularly nicotinamide, enhances physiological performance, biomass production, and the accumulation of bioactive compounds in basil.
