Illuminating the harvest: the regulatory effects of LEDs on pigment accumulation in various food crops.
Review in Physiology and molecular biology of plants : an international journal of functional plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Food plants provide vital nutrients for humans and are the basis for their survival. The pigments in food plants not only improve their sensory value, but also increase their medicinal and nutritional value, which has a positive effect on human health. Light can influence the accumulation of pigments in food plants, and different light qualities, intensities and cycles have different effects on the accumulation of different pigments. For example, blue light can promote the production of chlorophyll and anthocyanins, while red light favours the accumulation of carotenoids. With the development of plantation agriculture, LED light sources are gradually being used for the market-orientated production of food crops. In recent years, research has shown that non-coding RNAs such as miRNA and lncRNA significantly influence the process of light-regulated pigment accumulation. Non-coding RNA can modulate the expression of genes related to pigment metabolism and thus influence pigment accumulation. Investigating the effect of LED light on the expression of non-coding RNA can further elucidate the molecular mechanism of light regulation of pigment accumulation and provide a new theoretical basis for the precise regulation of pigment accumulation. Therefore, we summarised the effects of LED light quality, intensity and period on pigments in food plants and elucidated the regulatory role of LED light on non-coding RNAs related to pigment metabolism in food plants, which theoretically supports the application of LED light sources in food plants.
