Selenium Biofortification and an
Article in Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. 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
Vegetable cultivation is currently facing complex challenges related to climate change, with negative repercussions on plant performance. In this scenario, the employment of eco-friendly agronomic tools capable of boosting plant tolerance to abiotic stresses is fundamental. Among them, the use of non-microbial biostimulants, such as seaweed extracts (SwEs), and microelements, like selenium (Se), is considered an efficient approach to overcome abiotic stresses. In this experiment, the performance of chicory plants cultivated under three different irrigation levels (100%, 75% or 50% of substrate water holding capacity) and treated with SwE, Se or their combination (SwE + Se) was evaluated. The results revealed that drought stress significantly decreased growth, productivity and relative water content but increased soluble solid content, dry matter percentage, and proline and malondialdehyde concentrations. The application of Swe, Se or Swe + Se enhanced growth, productive features and soluble solid content and reduced dry matter percentage, proline and malondialdehyde compared to the control. Based on our results, Se and SwE combined application could be a valuable approach to face moderate drought stress on curly endive plants and improve productive and quality traits.
