Impacts of Heat Stress around Flowering on Growth and Development Dynamic of Maize (
Article in Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Heat stress around flowering is harmful to maize growth and yield. Ear traits are closely related to yield; however, the effects of heat stress before and after flowering on ear development and yield traits remain unclear for different heat-tolerant cultivars. In this study, field experiments were conducted in 2020 and 2021, including (i) three sowing dates, (ii) three temperature regimes: control (CK), heated before silking (V9-R1, TBS) and heated after silking (R1-R1 + 15 d, TAS), and (iii) two hybrids (ZD958: heat-tolerant; DH605: heat-sensitive). The results showed that heating had negative effects on all surveyed ear and yield traits except for increased ear length under TBS. The negative effects were larger (i) for TAS than for TBS, (ii) for DH605 than for ZD958, and (iii) for kernel number per plant (KNP) than for kernel weight (KW). The decreased ear traits were a result of a decreased growth rate during rapid ear growth periods. Floret pollination failure and kernel abortion were the main reasons for the decrease in KNP, mainly depending on the daily maximum temperature during V15-R1 + 7 d. The strong linear relationships between ear and yield traits suggested that ear traits could be used as important indicators for breeding heat-resistant varieties in the future.
