Potential effect of phyto-synthesized silver nanoparticles using Cotula cinerea Del Raw extract on salt tolerance of wheat seeds (Triticum durum desf, Boussellam variety) germination.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
This study uncovers a novel and environmentally sustainable method for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) utilizing Cotula cinerea extract, a plant that has not been previously explored for nanoparticle (NP) fabrication. The study is to evaluate the efficacy of a nano primer in mitigating salt stress in durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf Boussalem variety). AgNPs extract spectra showed a sharp peak at 445.91 nm in UV-vis while X-ray diffraction (XRD) reflected the patterns of the face-centred cubic (fcc) and crystalline structure and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study revealed that the NPs have an almost spherical and somewhat cuboidal morphology, with dimensions under 20 nm. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study revealed an average particle size distribution of 15.128 nm, largely exhibiting a spherical morphology. The hydrodynamic diameter measured (DLS) indicated a particle size of 351.6 nm, which is much larger. Seeds were treated with 0, 20, 40, and 80 mg L-1 of AgNPs and exposed to 0 and 150 mM NaCl. At a concentration of 40 mg/L of AgNPs, germinability attained 90% under saline conditions, in contrast to 70% for the control group, while root length (RL) exhibited an 86% increase, measuring 7.28 cm compared to 3.9 cm in the control group. At a concentration of 20 mg/L of AgNPs, root fresh weight (RFW) increases from 0.04 to 0.06 g in saline conditions and from 0.06 to 0.09 g in the absence of salt. The control group exhibited a root number (RN) of 3.67, while plants treated with 20 mg/L demonstrated a significant increase to 5.54. Additionally, shoot length (SL) under saline stress reached 11.12 cm, compared to 8.26 cm in saline conditions. These findings underscore the potential of green synthesised AgNPs as an effective approach to enhance the salt tolerance of durum wheat and promote sustainable agriculture in saline conditions.
