Optimizing seedling production for the conservation of the threatened Dyckia rariflora (Bromeliaceae).
Article in BMC research notes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesIn vitro seed propagation can enhance plant species growth and enable the rapid production of seedlings while preserving genetic variability. This study aimed to develop in vitro seed propagation and acclimatization protocols for Dyckia rariflora to support conservation efforts of this bromeliad endemic to ferruginous campos rupestres. Seed germination and plant growth were tested using MS (Murashige & Skoog) culture medium with varying salt concentrations, sucrose levels, and the presence or absence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Following these treatments, seedlings were acclimatized after removal from the controlled environment.
resultsGermination rates varied between 65 and 90%, unaffected by treatment. The highest germination speed index was in half MS salts without PVP, while full MS salts, sucrose, and PVP slowed germination. Half MS salts resulted in seedlings with greater height, more leaves, and longer roots. Complete MS salts were less effective. No seed oxidation was observed. After 120 days of acclimatization, survival rates exceeded 70%, with plants in half MS salts and 15 g sucrose showing the best growth. In vitro propagation of D. rariflora is viable for large-scale plant production, with half MS salt and sucrose concentrations, without PVP, recommended for better plant growth and cost reduction.
