Xylogenesis under future climates: enhanced growth of balsam fir in a warming boreal forest.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Understanding the effects of climate variability on tree growth is crucial to predict forest carbon sequestration under global climate change. This study investigates the dynamics of wood formation in balsam fir in response to historical climatic data and projected variations. Weekly microcores were collected from 33 permanent plots in a boreal forest in Québec, Canada, over five growing seasons from 2018 to 2022. Warmer spring temperatures were associated with earlier cell enlargement initiation and increased cell production, whereas precipitation exerted a limited effect. An advancement in the onset of cell enlargement by 14-42 days and a 25-85% increase in cell production from 2051-2080 relative to the reference period (1981-2010) were predicted. Our results reveal potential shifts in growth dynamics and xylem production that could modify the growth processes in balsam fir, including carbon sequestration in the boreal forest ecosystems of Eastern Canada.
