Red light induced seed germination and seedling growth by modulating antioxidant defense system, Rubisco, and NADPH oxidase activities in Capsicum frutescens.
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 2 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
In this study, the impact of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in different spectrums was investigated on the seed germination and post-germinative performance of Capsicum frutescens seedlings. The seeds were exposed to different LED lights (full spectrum, white, red, blue, and red-blue) for 0, 1, 2, and 4 h (h). The seeds were placed for a week in darkness to investigate germination, and then the growth mechanisms were studied in four-week-old seedlings. Results indicated that germination percentage was promoted markedly under 2 h red and full lights and also in 1 h blue, which was accompanied by the regulation of H
