Exogenous DCPTA Ameliorates Simulated Drought Conditions by Improving the Growth and Photosynthetic Capacity of Maize Seedlings.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Previous reports have indicated that 2-(3,4-dichlorophenoxy)triethylamine (DCPTA) can promote the growth and photosynthetic capacity of plants. However, only a small number of these studies have focused on crops, and few reports have focused on whether DCPTA affects stress tolerance. In this study, maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings were pretreated with or without DCPTA and then exposed to drought stress in a controlled growth room for 7 days, and the growth and photosynthesis indexes of the seedlings were investigated. The DCPTA treatment partly counteracted the observed decreases in biomass, net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (Gs), transpiration rate (Tr), effective photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (ΦPSII), maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm), non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), and photosynthetic pigment content and increased the minimal fluorescence (Fo) induced by drought stress. The DCPTA treatment also alleviated the damage induced by drought stress in the photosynthetic apparatus. In addition, DCPTA pretreatment simultaneously increased the root size (e.g., the length, surface area, and volume) and root hydraulic conductivity, which promoted the maintenance of higher relative leaf water contents (RLWCs) under stress conditions. These results indicate that exogenous DCPTA ameliorates simulated drought conditions by improving the growth and photosynthetic capacity of maize seedlings.
