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

Introduction: As a type of biostimulant, protein hydrolysates (PHs) can promote crop growth, increase yield, and enhance crop tolerance to abiotic stresses. However, their application and research in rice production remain relatively limited. Methods: Focusing on"Lifenggu" (a soybean-derived protein hydrolysate), this study carried out multilocation field trials to evaluate the real-world application efficacy of this biostimulant on rice production across varying environmental conditions. Meanwhile, laboratory-based assays were conducted to analyze the doseresponse of rice growth to "Lifenggu" and its protective mechanisms under high-temperature and herbicide stress. Results: Field experimental results showed that "Lifenggu" could increase rice yield by 8.9%-14% (with an average increase of 10%). Physiological analysis revealed that "Lifenggu" might promote biomass accumulation by increasing the SPAD value of rice and enhancing the activity of nitrogen metabolic enzymes. Under herbicide and high-temperature stress, "Lifenggu" could alleviate the adverse effects caused by stress and reduce yield losses, possibly by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes and the content of proline, while decreasing the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Further transcriptomic analyses demonstrated that "Lifenggu" regulates the expression of genes involved in phytohormone biosynthesis, stress response pathways, and secondary metabolism. Discussion: This, in turn, serves as the molecular mechanism enabling its dual functions of promoting rice growth and improving stress tolerance. These results deepen insights into the yield-increasing effects of protein hydrolysates in rice, and offer both theoretical support and practical recommendations for their application in rice cultivation.
