From Plant Material to Environmentally Friendly Plant Growth Stimulators: Betaine-Based Ionic Liquids.
Article in ACS sustainable chemistry & engineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Following global trends, the main issue is to ensure that humanity can progress without harming the environment. This article outlines the synthesis of novel ionic liquids composed of an alkylbetaine cation, whose structure is based on glycine-betaine (a byproduct of sugar beet production) and an anion based on indole-3-butyric acid (a natural auxin found in plants). The article details the synthesis method used and demonstrates its negligible environmental impact. In addition, the main physicochemical properties of ionic liquids and their initial substrates have been assessed. Biological studies indicate that these ionic liquids effectively stimulate plant growth compared to the potassium salt of indole-3-butyric acid by approximately 40-60%, promoting positive effects on plant growth after sowing, while they may also contribute to seed protection before sowing. Furthermore, environmental studies have shown that these compounds are unlikely to pose a threat to freshwater and saltwater organisms, as they fall into the Practically Nontoxic to Slightly Toxic class in the case of
