Superior effect of selenium nanoparticles over sodium selenite on growth, yield, antioxidant activity, and essential oil production in Dracocephalum kotschyi Boiss.
Article in BMC plant biology, 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
backgroundDracocephalum kotschyi Boiss., a perennial medicinal and aromatic plant endemic to Iran, is renowned for its diverse biological and medicinal properties. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of foliar application of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) and sodium selenite (SSe) on the growth, yield, physiological and biochemical characteristics, and essential oil (EO) of D. kotschyi. The experiment included seven treatments: a control (distilled water) and a foliar spray of 50, 100, and 200 mg L
resultsSeNPs were more effective than SSe in improving plant growth and yield. Specifically, a 200 mg L
conclusionsThe results revealed that SeNPs were more effective than the SSe in improving plant growth and yield. Overall, the 200 mg L
