1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The current climate crisis has global impacts and will affect the physiology of plants across every continent. Ensuring resilience of our agricultural and natural ecosystems to the environmental stresses imposed by climate change will require molecular insight into the adaptations employed by a diverse array of plants. However, most current studies continue to focus on a limited set of model species or crops. Root systems are particularly understudied even though their functions in water and nutrient uptake are likely pivotal for plant stress resilience and sustainable agriculture. In this review, we highlight anatomical adaptations in roots that enable plant survival in different ecological niches. We then present the current state of knowledge for the molecular underpinnings of these adaptations. Finally, we identify areas where future research using a biodiversity approach can fill knowledge gaps necessary for the development of climate-resilient crops of the future.
