Acetic acid: a cheap but chief metabolic regulator for abiotic stress tolerance in plants.
Review in Stress biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
As sessile organisms, plants constantly face a variety of abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, and metal/metalloid toxicity, all of which possess significant threats to plant growth and yield potential. Improving plant resilience to such abiotic stresses bears paramount importance in practicing sustainable agriculture worldwide. Acetic acid/acetate has been recognized as an important metabolite with multifaceted roles in regulating plant adaptation to diverse abiotic stresses. Recent studies have elucidated that acetic acid can potentiate plants' inherent mechanisms to withstand the adverse effects of abiotic stresses through the regulation of lipid metabolism, hormone signaling, epigenetic changes, and physiological defense mechanisms. Numerous studies also underpin the potential use of acetic acid in boosting crop production under unfavorable environmental conditions. This review provides a comprehensive update on the understanding of how acetic acid regulates plant photosynthesis, acts as an antitranspirant, detoxifies reactive oxygen species to alleviate oxidative stress, interacts with phytohormones to regulate physiological processes, and improves soil fertility and microbial diversity, with a specific focus on drought, salinity, and metal toxicity. We also highlight the eco-friendly and economic potential of acetic acid that may attract farmers from developing countries to harness the benefits of acetic acid application for boosting abiotic stress resistance in crops. Given that acetic acid is a widely accessible, inexpensive, and eco-friendly compound, the revelation of acetic acid-mediated regulatory pathways and its crosstalk with other signaling molecules will have significant importance in developing a sustainable strategy for mitigating abiotic stresses in crops.
