Advances in cotton harvesting aids.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
During the cotton harvesting stage, the application of chemical harvest aids, such as thidiazuron and ethephon, facilitates cotton defoliation and boll maturation, serving as a crucial management tool in modern cotton cultivation systems. This paper reviews recent advancements in cotton defoliation and ripening research; delves into the physiological mechanisms underlying defoliation, boll maturation, and cotton fiber development; and summarizes the effects of major defoliants and herbicide-type desiccants on plants. It also explores the roles of hormones and genes that are involved in the defoliation process and identifies the key factors influencing the effectiveness of harvest aids. Additionally, this paper offers recommendations and scientific prospects for optimizing cotton defoliation and ripening technologies in the future. Through these contributions, it aims to provide valuable insights for the research and application of efficient harvesting of mature cotton, stimulate innovation in cotton defoliation and ripening technologies, enhance the quality and yield of cotton, reduce labor costs, and contribute to the sustainable development of the cotton industry.
