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

The limited natural occurrence of stilbenes, a valuable compound, in sources such as peanuts restricts their full exploitation for health benefits. To address this challenge, we explored the novel use of Sargassum vulgare liquid extract (SLE) as a biostimulant to enhance stilbene production in peanut plants shoots. While seaweed extracts have been previously studied for general crop improvement, this work uniquely demonstrates a genotype-specific and concentration-dependent enhancement of piceatannol levels. Three peanut cultivars: 'Trabelsia' (AraT), 'Chanfakhi' (AraC), and 'American' (AraA) treated with six foliar SLE concentrations (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4%, 8%) weekly for 7 weeks, starting 21 days after germination. Significant improvements (p < 0.05) in plant growth, pigment content, and yield were observed, with the highest biomass in AraT at 8% SLE and the highest pod production in AraC and AraA at 1-2%. Polyphenol and flavonoid content peaked under SLE at 8% AraC and 1%, respectively. Most notably, piceatannol content in AraA increased threefold (30.11 ± 2.6 µg/g DW) with 8% SLE, while resveratrol and piceid levels showed limited changes across treatments. These findings highlight the innovative use of S. vulgare extract as a sustainable elicitor for targeted piceatannol enrichment in peanut byproducts, opening avenues for their valorisation in nutraceutical or pharmaceutical applications.
