Sunburn mitigation in dragon fruit (
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Sunburn is a major abiotic stress affecting dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.), impairing tissue integrity, disrupting physiological functions, and significantly reducing yield. Developing effective mitigation strategies is critical for sustaining productivity under high radiation conditions. Methods: This study evaluated the efficacy of eleven treatments combining kaolin (5%) with shade net, seaweed extract (0.5%), and various biostimulants in red ( Results: Neem soap (T8) and neem soap + microbial consortium (T9) were the most effective treatments, reducing canopy temperature by 4.2-5.1 °C and malondialdehyde (MDA) content by 32-38% compared to the control. These treatments also showed lower phenolic, flavonoid, and antioxidant enzyme (SOD, POD, CAT) activities, indicating reduced oxidative stress. Shade net + kaolin (T2) retained the highest chlorophyll content (1.82 mg g Discussion: Kaolin-based treatments, particularly when combined with neem soap and microbial amendments, synergistically alleviated sunburn stress by reducing oxidative damage, improving antioxidant enzyme activity, and enhancing nutrient homeostasis. Genotype-specific responses highlight the potential for precision management strategies to improve dragon fruit resilience under high radiation environments.
