Exogenous myo-inositol enhances drought tolerance in maize seedlings by antioxidant defense, and photosynthetic efficiency.
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 6 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
Introduction: Drought stress severely impairs maize ( Methods: In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of exogenous myo-inositol (MI) in alleviating drought stress in maize seedlings. We established four treatments: control (CK), MI application under normal irrigation (G), drought stress (D), and MI application under drought stress (DG). Results: The results demonstrate that MI significantly restored growth parameters under drought conditions, increasing shoot and root biomass by 40.74% and 28.30%, respectively, on Day 7. Additionally, MI enhanced photosynthetic efficiency (net photosynthetic rate (Pn), transpiration rate (Tr), stomatal conductance (gs), and photosystem II efficiency (Fv/Fm)) and upregulated osmotic regulators (e.g. proline and soluble sugars) in the leaves and roots. Furthermore, antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and glutathione reductase (GR)) and ascorbic acid-glutathione (ASA-GSH) cycle components were synergistically activated by MI, reducing oxidative damage, as indicated by decreases in malondialdehyde (MDA), H Discussion: These findings reveal that MI is a potent inducer of drought resilience in maize, offering a novel strategy for maize cultivation under water scarcity.
