The relationship between growth, anatomical structure, and quality in different parts and stages of edible bamboo shoots of Dendrocalamus latiflorus.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundDendrocalamus latiflorus is widely distributed in southern China and has high ornamental and edible value. The growth dynamics and the associations between growth and the distribution of nutrients or chemical components across various parts and stages of shoot development remain inadequately understood. In this study, tender shoots of D. latiflorus from Guangxi, China, were used to conduct experiments. During the edible growth period, the height, ground diameter, and morphology of the tender shoots were investigated, and the growth stages were classified by conducting ordered sample cluster analysis. The internal internode anatomy and nutritional/chemical components of the tender shoots at different growth stages and parts were measured and analyzed. The optimal harvesting stages and parts were determined by conducting a comprehensive analysis using the technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS).
resultsThe height growth of D. latiflorus tender shoots lasted for 21 days and can be divided into four stages: I (0-9 d), II (10-13 d), III (14-17 d), and IV (18-21 d), while thickening growth lasted about 19 days. The moisture content of D. latiflorus tender shoots decreased as growth increased. Cell division and elongation increased the height of tender shoots. Among the four stages, cell division dominated in Stages I and II, whereas cell elongation dominated in Stages III and IV. The changes in nutrients and chemical components in different parts and stages of tender shoot development have distinct characteristics, and the differences are significant. The starch and reducing sugar contents reached a maximum value in the lower part of Stage II (10.19 mg·g
conclusionsThis study revealed the growth patterns of the tender shoots of D. latiflorus from morphological, anatomical, and physiological perspectives, as well as the dynamic changes in nutrient content during their growth. Within the 21-day edible stage, Stage II (10-13 days) was identified as the optimal harvesting stage, with the upper part of the shoot being the best section for harvest. This study provided a theoretical basis for further cultivating high-quality D. latiflorus for shoot production and has significant potential for increasing economic benefits.
