Modern and historical uses of plant grafting to engineer development, stress tolerance, chimeras, and hybrids.
Review in The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
For millennia, people have grafted plants to propagate them and to improve their traits. By cutting and joining different species or cultivars together, the best properties of shoot and roots are combined in one plant to increase yields, improve disease resistance, modify plant growth or enhance abiotic stress tolerance. Today, grafting has evolved from what originated as an early form of trait engineering. The fundamental technique remains the same, but new species are being grafted, new techniques have developed and new applications for modifying development and stress tolerance are appearing. In addition, engineering possibilities such as graft chimeras, graft hybrids and the use of mobile RNAs are emerging. Here, we summarize advances in plant grafting with a focus on engineering novel traits. We discuss traditional uses of grafting to engineer traits but also focus on recent developments, challenges and opportunities for plant improvement through grafting.
