Exploring physiological and molecular dynamics of drought stress responses in plants: challenges and future directions.
Review in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
Plants face multifactorial environmental stressors mainly due to global warming and climate change which affect their growth, metabolism, and productivity. Among them, is drought stress which alters intracellular water relations, photosynthesis, ion homeostasis and elevates reactive oxygen species which eventually reduce their growth and yields. In addition, drought alters soil physicochemical properties and beneficial microbiota which are critical for plant survival. Recent reports have shown that climate change is increasing the occurrence and intensity of drought in many regions of the world, which has become a primary concern in crop productivity, ecophysiology and food security. To develop ideas and strategies for protecting plants against the harmful effects of drought stress and meeting the future food demand under climatic calamities an in-depth understanding of molecular regulatory pathways governing plant stress responses is imperative. In parallel, more research is needed to understand how drought changes the features of soil, particularly microbiomes, as microorganisms can withstand drought stress faster than plants, which could assist them to recover. In this review we first discuss the effect of drought stress on plants, soil physicochemical properties and microbiomes. How drought stress affects plant microbe interactions and other microbe-driven beneficial traits was also highlighted. Next, we focused on how plants sense drought and undergo biochemical reprogramming from root to shoot to regulate diverse adaptive traits. For instance, the role of calcium (Ca
