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

backgroundPeanuts (

methodsA pot culture experiment was conducted to investigate the impacts of short-term drought imposed at the flowering stage on peanuts grown in saline-alkali soil. We comprehensively assessed peanut agronomic traits, cell ultrastructure, physicochemical properties, hormone change, rhizobacterial community, and rhizosphere soil metabolic profiles between single salt stress and salt and drought co-stress.

resultsOur study reveals that co-stress markedly suppressed peanut yield, with 100-pod weight, 100-seed weight, pods per plant, and pod yield per plant reduced by 3.16%, 12.79%, 16.65%, and 22.14% relative to salt-only treatment. Combined stress triggered more severe ultrastructural alterations, cell wall degradation, and tissue deformation. It also degraded soil quality by lowering available phosphorus, alkaline hydrolyzable nitrogen, and available potassium. Meanwhile, co-stress reduced the relative abundance of nitrogen-cycling and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, alongside depleted beneficial sugar metabolites in rhizosphere soil. These shifts jointly constrain peanut growth and productivity.

conclusionsThus, it is imperative to implement timely irrigation practices to avoid drought during peanut cultivation in saline-alkali areas, particularly during the flowering stage.
