Incident Far-Red Photons Drive Leaf Photosynthesis Less Efficiently Than PAR Light, but Are More Effective in Promoting Growth.
Article in Plant, cell & environment, 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
Recently, far-red light (FR) in the range 700-750 nm has been reported to have similar photosynthetic efficiency as photosynthetically active radiation (PAR, 400-700 nm), when supplied in combination with PAR. We aimed to investigate if adding FR to PAR is equally efficient in promoting photosynthesis as adding PAR, and if long-term acclimation to FR would change the short-term response to FR. Lettuce plants were grown in a climate chamber at two levels of PAR (200 and 400 μmol m
