The role of hormones in parasitic plant infection.
Review in Plant & cell physiology, 2026. 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
Plant parasitism is a widespread lifestyle found throughout the plant kingdom that plays important roles in ecology and agriculture. Parasitic plants rely on the formation of specialized parasitic organs called haustoria to invade their hosts and withdraw nutrients. Currently, our knowledge is growing regarding how parasitic plants use haustoria to infect their hosts, modify their physiology and regulate infection. Important factors in plant development are hormone signaling molecules that play essential roles in how plants grow and interact with their surroundings. In recent years, major progress has been made in understanding the relevance of various hormones in plant parasitism. Here, we review recent findings in the field, focusing on the role of hormones in several stages of parasitism, including haustoria induction, vascular development, and interaction with the host. We discuss and compare how hormones influence haustoria development in different parasitic plant lifestyles and species, and identify knowledge gaps in the field. Future work on understanding how hormones influence parasitism is crucial to develop novel ways to control the damage caused by parasitic plants to agriculture, and to discover how parasitic plants efficiently connect to their hosts.
