Translocation of Foliar-Applied Nanoparticles: A Critical Review From a Plant Science Perspective.
Review in Physiologia plantarum. 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
Recent advances in plant science have greatly enhanced agronomic practices involving the foliar application of agrochemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides. However, the limited phloem mobility of certain nutrients and nonsystemic pesticides reduces the effectiveness of these strategies. Nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as promising carriers to improve nutrient use efficiency (NUE) and crop protection by enabling long-distance transport and targeted delivery of essential nutrients and active ingredients. While increasing evidence suggests that foliar-applied NPs can translocate within plants, a mechanistic understanding and agronomically relevant case studies remain scarce. As a result, the extent to which NP translocation can facilitate significant distribution and cargo release within plants is yet to be fully established. This review critically evaluates existing research on foliar NP translocation, emphasizing key findings within a plant science framework. Specifically, we examine how NP design can influence translocation and assess the existing quantitative data of NP remobilization within plants. Additionally, we explore how physiological processes affect NP transport and highlight alternative, often overlooked translocation pathways. Lastly, we assess current techniques used to study NP transport, discussing their applicability and limitations. This review identifies significant research gaps that must be addressed to advance nano-enabled plant nutrition as well as crop protection and can therefore be used to inspire future research.
