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

Introduction: The growing need for sustainable viticulture has increased interest in biostimulants that enhance plant resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses. This study evaluates the efficacy of whey-derived protein hydrolysates (PHs) in improving Methods: Potted grapevines were subjected to 40°C heat stress without irrigation and treated with either water or PHs. Physiological parameters as well as key stress- and photosynthesis-related genes expression were monitored. The antimicrobial effects of PHs against Results: PHs-treated plants exhibited a faster recovery of photosynthetic activity than control plants and maintained normal sub-stomatal CO Conclusion: In the tested conditions, whey PHs serve as effective biostimulants, enhancing grapevine resilience to combined drought and heat stress while providing protection against grapevine pathogens. Although further validation in vineyard conditions is needed, this dual benefit of PHs may propose a potential sustainable alternative to reduce chemical inputs in viticulture, contributing to more environmentally friendly agricultural practices.
