Mechanism of induced soluble sugar accumulation and organic acid reduction in plum fruits by application of melatonin.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Melatonin (MT) can improve plant resistance and fruit quality. The mechanism by which MT affects soluble sugar and organic acids accumulation in drupe fruits is not clear. In this study, 100 µmol/L MT was sprayed on the leaves of plum trees at the second stage of rapid fruit expansion (90 and 97 d after flowering), and the effects of MT on plum fruit quality and its effects on the soluble sugar-organic acid metabolism were investigated. At 28 d after MT treatment (at maturity), the longitudinal diameter, fruit weight, and vitamin C content of plum fruits were increased by 5.05%, 12.93%, and 56.09%, respectively, compared to the control. MT caused significant increase in the total soluble solids content and decreased the titratable acid content. MT increased the contents of total soluble sugar, sucrose, sorbitol, and citric acid after 21 and 28 days of treatment, while decreasing the contents of fructose, malic acid, quinic acid, and tartaric acid after 28 days of treatment. Additionally, MT increased the activities of sucrose synthase (catabolism direction), sucrose phosphate synthase, glucokinase, fructokinase, sorbitol oxidase, and NADP
