Accumulation of starch in duckweeds (Lemnaceae), potential energy plants.
Review in Physiology and molecular biology of plants : an international journal of functional plant biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Starch can accumulate in both actively growing vegetative fronds and over-wintering propagules, or turions of duckweeds, small floating aquatic plants belonging to the family of the Lemnaceae. The starch synthesizing potential of 36 duckweed species varies enormously, and the starch contents actually occurring in the duckweed tissues are determined by growth conditions, various types of stress and the action of growth regulators. The present review examines the effects of phytohormones and growth retardants, heavy metals, nutrient deficiency and salinity on the accumulation of starch in duckweeds with a view to obtaining high yields of starch as a feedstock for biofuel production. Biotechnological approaches to degrading duckweed starch to its component sugars and the fermentation of these sugars to bio-alcohols are also discussed.
