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

backgroundPea (Pisum sativum L.) is a valuable legume crop known for its high protein content. Heavy metal stress serious issue worldwide that stunted the growth of plants. Little is known about physiological and biochemical study of pea under trehalose and chromium conditions. This study tested how foliar application of trehalose improved the growth of two pea varieties (Supreme and Meteor) under chromium stress.

resultsWhen pea plants were exposed to 100 µM Cr, shoot fresh weight dropped by 12.4% and 19.2%, root length by 16.2% and 16.1%, and total chlorophyll by 13.6% and 14.3% in Supreme and Meteor, respectively. However, applying 10 mM trehalose improved shoot fresh weight by 18.4% and 19.1%, root dry weight by 59.8% and 46.6%, and total chlorophyll by 29.2% and 19.3%, respectively. Trehalose also lowered hydrogen peroxide by 7.6% and 3.8% and malondialdehyde by 40.0% and 30.1% in Supreme and Meteor. By application of trehalose, antioxidant enzyme activity increased, and ion balance improved root K

conclusionTrehalose could be a useful option for growing crops in polluted soils. The broader use of trehalose in regulating important metabolic pathways to heavy metal stress tolerance, should be investigated in future research.
