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
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of nanocellulose-assisted green-synthesized iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) and conventional sources of Fe on pot marigold (Calendula officinalis L.) plants symbiotically with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM). Pot marigold plants were inoculated with Funneliformis mosseae in addition to applying ferrous sulfate, FeNPs, and Fe-EDDHA at a rate of 10 mg Fe/kg soil, which follows the recommended rates of fertilizer. Their effects on plant growth, morphology, and physiological parameters were to be compared in the experiment. According to the findings, FeNPs significantly increased plant height, mean stem length, flower number, and total flower lifespan, especially when used with AMF. Most notably, this treatment produced the highest total chlorophyll content (6.62 mg/g FW), active iron in leaves (10 µg/g FW), essential oil (5.75%), mean number of leaves per plant (26.25), number of flowers per plant (6.5), and overall flower lifespan (92.75 days). It also produced superior mycorrhizal root colonization (52.47%). However, because of its lower uptake efficiency and rapid oxidation, ferrous sulfate showed limited performance. By enhancing iron bioavailability, the FeNPs promoted more effective metabolic activity and nutrient absorption. These results demonstrate the advantage of producing FeNPs as a bio-sustainable and biocompatible alternative for synthetic chelates, thus providing an interesting way to improve crop growth promotion in mycorrhizal cropping systems.
