Alfalfa Photosynthesis Under Partial Root-Zone Drying: Diurnal Patterns and Its Non-Stomatal Limitations.
Article in Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 effects of stomatal factors of plant leaves under partial root-zone drying (PRD) have been widely studied. However, the non-stomatal factors and the relationship between photosynthesis with soil moisture have not been explored. In this study, four treatments over-irrigation, full irrigation, moderate water deficit, and severe water deficit were investigated, aiming to evaluate the effects on the diurnal variation of alfalfa leaf photosynthesis under PRD and its relationship with stomatal and non-stomatal limitations, as well as soil moisture. The results showed that any levels of water deficit led to a decrease in the photosynthetic rate (
