1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

MAIN

conclusionThis paper highlights the role of various signaling hormones in drought stress tolerance. It explains how phytohormones act and interact under drought conditions. Drought stress significantly impairs plant growth, development and productivity. The likelihood of adverse impacts of drought will increase due to variations in global climate patterns. Phytohormones serve as key regulators of drought tolerance mechanisms in plants. The in-depth understanding of the role and signaling of such hormones is thus of great significance for plant stress management. In this review, we conducted a bibliometric analysis and thematic mapping of recent research on drought and phytohormones, and phytohormone interactions. It is assumed that different classes of phytohormones such as abscisic acid (ABA), auxins (IAA), cytokinins (CTK), ethylene (ETH), gibberellic acid (GA), brassinosteroids (BRs), salicylates (SA), jasmonates (JA), and strigolactones (SLs) play a pivotal role in drought resistance mechanisms in many crops. The present work highlights recent advances in plant responses to drought and uncovers the recent functions of phytohormones in the establishment of drought-specific tolerance strategies. It also deciphers the various interactions between phytohormones allowing plant adaptation to drought stress. Overall, this review highlights recent and original discoveries useful for developing new strategies to improve plant resistance to drought.
