The role of blue light in plant stress responses: modulation through photoreceptors and antioxidant mechanisms.
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. Cited by 15 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
Blue light exerts a profound influence on plant physiology by tightly regulating photosynthetic efficiency, developmental processes, and stress signaling networks. Within the photosynthetically active radiation range, blue wavelengths uniquely activate cryptochromes and phototropins, which in turn regulate processes such as chloroplast repositioning, phototropism, and transcriptional adjustments linked to stress mitigation. Under high intensity blue irradiation, photosynthetic electron transport chains and apoplastic NADPH oxidases generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), acting as key signaling intermediates yet posing oxidative challenges. Plants deploy intricate antioxidant defenses including superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, and non-enzymatic scavengers like ascorbate, glutathione, and anthocyanins to maintain redox homeostasis and mitigate ROS damage. Emerging evidence indicates that the balance between beneficial and detrimental blue light effects is modulated by intensity, photoreceptor abundance, species-specific traits, and developmental context. This minireview explores the molecular and physiological responses to blue light, focusing on its role in stress signaling, reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulation, and antioxidant activity in plants.
