Exogenous application of serotonin, with the modulation of redox homeostasis and photosynthetic characteristics, enhances the drought resistance of the saffron plant.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Water stress is one of the most significant abiotic stresses that disrupts the osmotic balance of plants and consequently reduces their growth and performance. In recent years, it has been found that serotonin, as a signaling and regulatory molecule, can play important roles in the growth and development of plants and enhance their tolerance to abiotic stresses. Saffron is a plant known for its medicinal and culinary properties. Its distinct flavor, aroma, and vibrant color make it a sought-after ingredient in various cuisines and traditional medicines. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible effect of serotonin growth regulator on some morphophysiological and biochemical characteristics of saffron plant under water stress conditions. Water stress was applied using polyethylene glycol 6000 at a level of 30%, w/v. Serotonin was also applied exogenously at a concentration of 100 µM in both foliar and root applications. The experimental findings demonstrated that water stress had a detrimental impact on various growth and photosynthetic parameters including FW, DW, SH, RWC, photosynthetic pigments content, Pn, Fv/Fm, C and Ci. Under these conditions, H
