Abscission zones: cellular interfaces for the programmed separation of organs.
Review in Annals of botany, 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
backgroundAbscission zones are specialized sites where plants shed organs, such as leaves, petals or fruits, in response to developmental or environmental signals. These zones form at predictable locations and, once activated, undergo structural and physiological changes that detach the organ and seal the exposed area. During crop domestication, plants that retained ripe fruit or seeds were selected, and abscission traits still influence crop yield and quality today. SCOPE: This article reviews the stages of development of abscission zones: initiation, competence, separation and sealing. We combine insights from classic structural and physiological studies with modern genetic and molecular research, focusing on two plant species: Arabidopsis thaliana as a model for floral organ abscission and Solanum lycopersicum as a model for fleshy fruit development.
conclusionsThese studies show that abscission is a conserved but flexible developmental process. We conclude by exploring how these findings are being applied to improve abscission traits in modern agriculture.
