Duckweeds: Model organisms for research on plant sterols and steroids.
Review in Plant biology (Stuttgart, Germany), 2026. 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
More than two centuries since the birth of the botanist Matthias Jacob Schleiden, who first described many duckweed (Lemnaceae) species, interest in these small aquatic monocots is still alive. Lemnaceae have high biomass production capacity and can be used as animal feed and in human nutrition. Efficient transformation protocols and available genome data for several Lemnaceae species make them an ideal model system for research into biosynthesis and physiology of sterols and/or steroids in plants, especially monocots. Here we emphasize how studies using duckweed species can address current problems in plant physiology, with a strong focus on sterol and steroid biology in monocots. Further, we discuss how this knowledge can be translated to solve agricultural and industrial problems.
