Tea polyphenol mediated
Article in Horticulture research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Drought stress significantly alters the metabolic homeostasis of tea plants; however, few studies have examined the role of specific metabolites, particularly tea polyphenols, in drought resistance. This study reveals that the tea polyphenol content in drought-tolerant tea cultivars tends to increase under drought conditions. Notably, in environments characterized by staged and repeated drought, changes in tea polyphenol are significantly positively correlated with drought resistance. To investigate this further, we irrigated the roots with exogenous tea polyphenols before subjecting the plants to drought. Our findings indicated that the absorptive roots of the experimental group exhibited enhanced development, improved cellular integrity, and a significant increase in peroxidase activity. A comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome and metabolome revealed that tea polyphenols are closely associated with the phenylpropanoid metabolism pathway. Notably,
