Bee-mediated pollination enhances fruit set and seed yield in
Article in Horticulture research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Bee pollination enhances crop productivity and food security globally. However, its impact on pollen performance within pistil tissues and the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, artificial self-pollination yielded the highest pollen deposition on stigmas (119879.33 ± 43037.92 grains), followed by bee pollination (95464.60 ± 3985.01 grains). Conversely, bee pollination achieved the highest seed set rate (55.21% ± 1.84%), significantly exceeding the artificial self-pollination rate (7.27% ± 1.87%). A positive correlation was observed between pollen load on the stigmatic pollination band and seed set rate. Bee pollination delivers ample high-quality pollen to the stigmas of oil tree peony, enhancing seed production. Moreover, a trend high correlation was observed between pollen deposition on the stigmatic pollination band and seed set rate. Fluorescence microscopy and endogenous hormone analyses revealed that bee pollination stimulated a rapid increase in ZR, IAA, and GA
