Delaying or promoting? Manipulation of leaf senescence to improve crop yield and quality.
Review in Planta, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
MAIN
conclusionSenescence influences leaf productivity through two aspects: photosynthesis and nutrient remobilization. Through distinctively manipulating progress of leaf senescence, it is promising to improve crop yield and quality simultaneously. Crop yield and quality are two chief goals pursued in agricultural and horticultural production. The basis of crop yield is leaf photosynthesis. Senescence is the last stage of leaf development, which usually causes decreasing of leaf photosynthetic activity. Delaying leaf senescence through physiological or molecular strategies may result in higher photosynthetic activity with a longer duration, thus producing more photoassimilates for biomass accumulation. On the other side, leaf senescence always induces degradation of macromolecular nutrients (including chlorophylls and proteins), and nutritional elements in leaves are then resorbed for development of other organs. For those crops with non-leaf organs as harvested biomass, translocating nutritional elements from leaves to harvested biomass is an indispensable physiological process to increase crop yield and quality. This review summarized successful studies about effects of delaying or promoting senescence on crop yield or quality improvement. Considering the distinctiveness of various crops, manipulation of leaf senescence should be specialized during agricultural and horticultural practices. Rational regulation of leaf senescence, such as inhibiting senescence to maintain leaf photosynthesis and then promoting senescence (with appropriate onset and efficiency) to remobilize more nutrients from leaves to target organs, may ultimately improve both crop yield and quality.
