An Overview of the Impact of Melatonin on Tomato's Abiotic Stress Responses.
Review in Scientifica, 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
Tomatoes, as one of the main vegetables in the world, are facing increasingly greater cultivation challenges due to environmental changes. The challenges include abiotic stresses such as high temperatures, drought, and salinity, which significantly impact tomato growth. Melatonin, a hormone recognized for its function in the human sleep cycle, has surfaced as a potential remedy for improving plant resilience. This article explores the effects of melatonin on tomatoes, particularly under abiotic stress. A comprehensive literature search using Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, PubMed, and ProQuest ensures the synthesis of relevant scientific literature. This review reports that the melatonin content in tomatoes varies among plant organs and is influenced by environmental factors. The application of exogenous melatonin has been proven beneficial in stress conditions, enhancing antioxidant activities, photosynthesis, and stress resistance. The function of melatonin in gene regulation, antioxidants, and signaling pathways contributes to stress adaptation. The biosynthesis of melatonin in plants includes the enzymatic conversion of tryptophan. Although much is already known, future research is essential to comprehend the function of several melatonin features in sustaining plant equilibrium under environmental stresses.
