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

Biofortification of crops with beneficial micronutrients like selenium (Se) and iodine (I) is a promising strategy to enhance nutritional quality while addressing global dietary deficiencies. This study investigates the synergistic effects of foliar selenium and iodine application on basil, focusing on its nutritional composition and essential oil profile. A commercial greenhouse experiment was conducted using a factorial randomized complete block design with three replications. The experiment involved sixteen treatments including different combinations of selenium (as Na₂SeO₄) at 0, 0.5, 1.5, and 3 mg L
