Seed longevity and genome damage.
Review in Bioscience reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Seeds are the mode of propagation for most plant species and form the basis of both agriculture and ecosystems. Desiccation tolerant seeds, representative of most crop species, can survive maturation drying to become metabolically quiescent. The desiccated state prolongs embryo viability and provides protection from adverse environmental conditions, including seasonal periods of drought and freezing often encountered in temperate regions. However, the capacity of the seed to germinate declines over time and culminates in the loss of seed viability. The relationship between environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) and the rate of seed deterioration (ageing) is well defined, but less is known about the biochemical and genetic factors that determine seed longevity. This review will highlight recent advances in our knowledge that provide insight into the cellular stresses and protective mechanisms that promote seed survival, with a focus on the roles of DNA repair and response mechanisms. Collectively, these pathways function to maintain the germination potential of seeds. Understanding the molecular basis of seed longevity provides important new genetic targets for the production of crops with enhanced resilience to changing climates and knowledge important for the preservation of plant germplasm in seedbanks.
