The impact of light heterogeneity in controlled environment agriculture on biomass of microgreens.
Article in Quantitative plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Yield is impacted by the environmental conditions that plants are exposed to. Controlled environmental agriculture provides growers with an opportunity to fine-tune environmental conditions for optimising yield and crop quality. However, space and time constraints will limit the number of experimental conditions that can be tested, which will, in turn, limit the resolution to which environmental conditions can be optimised. Here we present an innovative experimental approach that utilises the existing heterogeneity in light quantity and quality across a vertical farm to evaluate hundreds of environmental conditions concurrently. Using an observational study design, we identify features in light quality that are most predictive of biomass in different kinds of microgreens (kale, radish and sunflower) that may inform future iterations of lighting technology development for vertical farms.
