High-precision lighting for plants: monochromatic red laser diodes outperform LEDs in photosynthesis and plant growth.
Article 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 5 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
The optimization of plant productivity in indoor horticulture relies heavily on artificial light systems, which serve as the primary light source for plant growth. Although light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been extensively studied in recent decades, there is limited research on laser diodes (LDs). LDs offer several advantages, including single-wavelength coherent light, remote illumination via optical fibers that minimizes heat accumulation at the canopy level, a compact and lightweight design, and enhanced energy efficiency at high input current densities. This study investigated the impact of red LD light on plant photosynthesis and growth, exploring its potential applications in indoor horticulture. The research examined the gas exchange of tobacco plants (
