Oaks drought-induced responses under root types: gene and microRNA cooperation.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 is a major stressor limiting plant growth and survival, requiring adaptive strategies. This study reveals that oak seedlings deploy distinct molecular and hormonal responses to drought depending on root type and cultivation method (containerized vs acorn-sown seedlings). Taproots and lateral roots exhibited divergent responses: taproots prioritized metabolic adaptation and sustained growth, while lateral roots emphasized growth restriction and structural adjustment. Seedlings initially grown in containers displayed unique transcriptomic and miRNA profiles compared to acorn-sown controls, reflecting the legacy of early root system constraints. Key regulatory networks involving stress-responsive genes, miRNAs, and hormones (notably ABA, JA, SA, and reduced auxins and cytokinins) underpin these adaptations. Our findings underscore the critical role of diversity within root types and cultivation techniques in enhancing drought resilience in oaks, and reveal often-overlooked molecular mechanisms that are vital to effective reforestation strategies aimed at climate mitigation and ecosystem restoration.
