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 review explores how climate change affects plant reproductive structures and causes significant yield loss, and discusses the effect of high temperatures on pollen viability, tube length, and germination percentage. Climate change-induced extreme heat and drought increasingly threaten plant growth and development, significantly impacting sexual reproduction. Heat and drought stress can disrupt key stages of plant sexual reproduction, including flowering time, gametophyte development, pollination, and seed formation, leading to infertility and substantial yield reductions in crops. A key consequence is compromised agricultural productivity and heightened food insecurity. The productivity in terms of crop yield is reduced due to a direct correlation between phenology and climate change. The reproductive organs of a plant and other parameters that define good fertility of a species are all affected by the increasing temperatures during their vegetative and reproductive phases of growth and development. This review dissects the detrimental effects of high temperatures on pollen grain viability, germination, and morphology, directly translating to yield reductions in major crops. It underscores the critical role of pollen viability and germination studies as potential tools for identifying heat-tolerant genotypes crucial for future food security. We delve into the intricate details of high-temperature stress's impact on pollen across various developmental stages, emphasizing the paramount importance of pollen studies as a criterion for heat tolerance in economically important crops within the context of climate change.
