The effects of biotic stress on the sexual reproduction process of flowering plants.
Review in PeerJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The sexual reproduction phase of flowering plants encompasses a multitude of physiological processes, including floral induction, floral organ morphogenesis, fertilization, and the maturation of seeds and fruits. In addition to being vital to the successful reproduction of the plants, these processes are also crucial to their adaptation to diverse environmental conditions. However, this phase is extremely complex and vulnerable to environmental impacts and constraints, with both biotic and abiotic stresses playing a significant role. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that environmental stress has multifaceted impacts on plant sexual reproduction, leading to substantial losses in seed production and crop yield. Although several excellent reviews have explored the regulatory mechanisms of abiotic stresses (such as light and temperature stress) on the plant sexual reproduction process, particularly flowering time and gametophyte development, a comprehensive overview of the effects of biotic stresses is still lacking. Rather than comprehensively reviewing the massive amount of literature in this field, our review aims to leverage case studies to cover a wide range of mechanisms by which biotic stressors, including fungi, bacteria, viruses, parasitic plants, and herbivorous animals, affect the sexual reproduction process of flowering plants.
