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
Drought events represent a growing challenge for agriculture in the Mediterranean region, particularly for Vitis vinifera, a species with economic and cultural significance. This study evaluates the effects of two subsequent drought stress events on grapevine cv. Sauvignon blanc, combining physiological and biochemical approaches. The trial was conducted in a semi-controlled tunnel from mid-June to mid-July 2024 on potted vines. Plants were divided into well-watered and drought groups. Drought-stressed vines underwent two drought cycles: the first reaching -1.3 MPa stem water potential, followed by rewatering, and the second with either moderate (-1.3 MPa) or severe (-2.5 MPa) drought before another rewatering. Stomatal conductance, chlorophyll fluorescence, gas exchange, and nonstructural carbohydrate levels were measured to assess physiological responses. Grape bunches were analyzed for C13/C12 isotope ratios at harvest. Significant physiological and biochemical differences were observed between the first moderate drought and both the second moderate and severe drought, highlighting distinct plant responses to water stress and rewatering. In the second cycle, vines subjected to severe drought showed significantly reduced photosynthetic efficiency compared to those under moderate drought, suggesting a decline in resilience. Chlorophyll fluorescence data indicated sustained photoinhibition after severe drought, while differences in nonstructural carbohydrate levels between treatments and across different times of the day revealed shifts in carbon metabolism. Carbon isotope composition confirmed the effect of double water stress. These results highlight the grapevines' capacity for physiological adaptation to repeated drought while also indicating the potential accumulation of negative effects if stress becomes excessive or prolonged.
