1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Phytohormones are critical regulators of plant growth, development, and stress responses. Despite advancements in analytical techniques, profiling multiple phytohormones across various plant matrices using a standardized approach remains underexplored. Methods: This study presents a unified LC-MS/MS analytical platform, employing consistent chromatographic and mass spectrometric conditions in combination with tailored matrix-specific extraction procedures, to profile and quantify key phytohormones. This includes abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), gibberellic acid (GA), and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), across five plant matrices of significant agricultural and medicinal value. The method was validated for sensitivity, reproducibility, and matrix adaptability, demonstrating robust performance in profiling phytohormones from these diverse species. Results: The results revealed distinct phytohormonal profiles, reflecting species-specific physiological adaptations to environmental conditions. For instance, cardamom exhibited high levels of SA and ABA, associated with stress responses in arid climates, while aloe vera showed lower phytohormone levels, indicative of its drought tolerance. Statistical analyses confirmed significant variation in hormone concentrations across the matrices, emphasizing the role of both genetic and environmental factors. Discussion: This unified LC-MS/MS platform offers a comprehensive approach to understanding phytohormone distribution and dynamics, with implications for improving agricultural practices, crop resilience, and the development of functional foods and nutraceuticals. The findings contribute to the broader understanding of plant physiology and offer practical applications in sustainable agriculture, particularly in regions with significant agricultural and medicinal crop production.
