Assessing the effects of 24-epibrassinolide and yeast extract at various levels on cowpea's morphophysiological and biochemical responses under water deficit stress.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundDue to the factor of water deficit, which has placed human food security at risk by causing a 20% annual reduction in agricultural products, addressing this growing peril necessitates the adoption of inventive strategies aimed at enhancing plant tolerance. One such promising approach is employing elicitors such as 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) and yeast extract, which are potent agents capable of triggering robust defense responses in plants. By employing these elicitors, crops can develop enhanced adaptive mechanisms to combat water deficit and improve their ability to withstand drought condition. This study investigates the impact of different levels of EBR (0, 5, 10 µm) and yeast extract (0 and 12 g/l) on enhancing the tolerance of cowpea to water deficit stress over two growing seasons.
resultsThe findings of this study demonstrate that, the combined application of EBR (especially 10 µm) and yeast extract (12 g/l) can increase seed yield (18%), 20-pod weight (16%), the number of pods per plant (18%), total chlorophyll content (90%), and decrease malondialdehyde content (45%) in cowpea, compared to plants grown under water deficit stress without these treatments. Upon implementing these treatments, impressive results were obtained, with the highest recorded values observed for the seed yield (1867.55 kg/ha), 20-pod weight (16.29 g), pods number per plant (9), and total chlorophyll content (19.88 mg g
conclusionsThe comprehensive exploration of the effects of EBR and yeast extract across various levels on cowpea plants facing water deficit stress presents a pivotal contribution to the agricultural domain. This research illuminates a promising trajectory for future agricultural practices and users seeking sustainable solutions to enhance crops tolerance. Overall, the implications drawn from this study contribute significantly towards advancing our understanding of plant responses to water deficit stress while providing actionable recommendations for optimizing crop production under challenging environmental conditions.
