Ultraviolet radiation: a double-edged sword in old forest Lobaria lichens-reducing growth while enhancing acclimation.
Article in Oecologia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This study examines the effects of three light regimes-1) photosynthetic light (PAR) only, 2) PAR + UV-A, and 3) PAR + UV-A + UV-B radiation-on area and biomass growth in two old forest lichens: the widely distributed Lobaria pulmonaria, noted for rapid growth, and the rarer L. virens, with previously undocumented growth rates but known susceptibility to high light. To overcome the constraints of artificial light sources, we utilized solar filters in sun-exposed field conditions to assess how UV impacts growth and influences mycobiont traits (melanic pigmentation, thallus thickness) and photobiont responses (Chl content, Chl fluorescence, CO
