Ascorbic Acid Priming Boosts Cotton Seed Chilling Tolerance via Membrane Stability and Antioxidant Cycles.
Article in Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Low-temperature stress severely restricts cotton seed germination and seedling establishment, especially in early spring. Ascorbic acid (AsA) priming is a promising strategy to enhance stress tolerance, yet its mechanisms in cotton remain unclear. This study examined the effects of AsA priming on seed germination at 15 °C. Seeds were treated with 0, 25, 50, or 100 mg/L AsA for 3, 6, 12, or 24 h. Results showed that 50 mg/L AsA for 24 h significantly improved germination potential, rate, index, and promptness index (
