Pre-Grafting Exposure to Root-Promoting Compounds Improves Top-Grafting Performance of Citrus Trees.
Article in Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Top grafting is an efficient and practical technique for the renewal and rejuvenation of citrus trees in old orchards. However, root death after top grafting restricts plant growth and canopy reconstruction. Thus, applications of rooting promotion substances before citrus top grafting may increase the amount and activity of roots, thereby enhancing top-grafted plant performance. To test this assumption, four rooting promotion substances, i.e., rooting promotion powder, biochar, organic fertilizer, and potassium fulvic acid, were applied before top grafting, and the effects on biometric and physiological parameters were analyzed after top grafting. The results showed that the application of all rooting promotion substances before top grafting has a positive effect on growth and mineral nutrient acquisition, as well as on foliar C and N assimilates and the activity of anti-oxidative enzymes of top-grafted plants. Rooting promotion powder and biochar had the best effect on top-grafted tree performance in the short term. In conclusion, pre-grafting root promotion reduced root damage, enhanced nutrient acquisition, and improved the physiological performance of top-grafted plants. Therefore, this approach can play a crucial role in accelerating canopy reconstruction in old citrus orchards and in improving citrus plant development.
