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

Seeds are the cornerstone of agricultural crop production. They are sources of many valuable materials that can be used to convert bulk materials into nanoforms, thus supporting sustainability in nanomaterial (NM) synthesis and circular farming. The use of seeds in innovative nanotechnology is based on the theoretical knowledge about seed-NM interactions and NM toxicity on seeds. The results show that the internalization of NMs into seeds and their effect on seed physiology depend on several properties of both the NM and the plant species. Nanotechnology innovations including seed-associated strategies for improving abiotic stress tolerance, facilitating pathogen protection, effectively transferring genetic information into embryos, and converting seed oils into biodiesel have been recently developed. This review aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge regarding the complex, multidirectional interactions of seeds with NMs, and suggest directions for future research of seed nanobiology.
