Accessible versatility underpins the deep evolution of plant specialized metabolism.
Review in Phytochemistry reviews : proceedings of the Phytochemical Society of Europe, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
The evolution of several hallmark traits of land plants is underpinned by phytochemical innovations. The specialized metabolism of plants can appear like a teeming chaos that has yielded an ungraspable array of chemodiversity. Yet, this diversity is the result of evolutionary processes including neutral evolution, drift, and selection that have shaped the metabolomic networks. Deciphering the evolutionary history of the specialized metabolome in the context of plant terrestrialization has only just begun. Studies on phytochemistry of model organisms and crop plants enabled the sketch of a blueprint for the biochemical landscape of land plants and a good idea on the diversity that can be explored. Evolutionary metabolomics has in the past been successfully used to identify traits that were critical for domestication of angiosperms or to unravel key innovations in land plants. Owing to recent advances in the study of non-model land plants and their close streptophyte algal relatives we can now begin to appreciate the variation of metabolic networks across the green lineage-and understand convergent solutions to similar environmental challenges and effects that plant terrestrialization had on these networks. Here, we highlight the significant progress made with regard to identifying metabolomic diversity by adding non-model organisms to the equation. We discuss the role of neutral evolution in the context of metabolomic diversity and the effects that environmental challenges had on the lineage-specific specialized metabolism from an evolutionary point of view.
