Water stresses alter the growth, yield and quality of broccoli (Brassica Oleracea var. italica).
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Drought stress can significantly reduce plant growth by affecting various physiological processes. Water scarcity, influenced by both drought and climate change, disrupts cellular functions, decreases photosynthesis, and ultimately hampers overall plant development. Water stress is a major abiotic factor that impacts the growth, yield, and quality of broccoli. This cool-season crop is sensitive to water shortages, especially during critical growth stages. Therefore, a pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different water stresses on the growth, yield, and quality of four broccoli varieties. The experiment included two factors: four water levels-100% field capacity (FC), 75% FC, 60% FC, and 45% FC, and four broccoli varieties BARI Broccoli-1, Green Crown, Early You, and Early Green. Among the treatments, 100% FC produced the highest number of leaves (26.08), plant height (53.41 cm), curd fresh weight (310.19 g), and yield (15.50 t/ha). Water-stressed plants showed reduced growth, yield, and leaf chlorophyll content but increased levels of ascorbic acid, proline, and dry matter. The 45% FC treatment resulted in the lowest plant height (42.41 cm), number of leaves (16.33), curd fresh weight (186.22 g), and yield (9.31 t/ha). Early Green exhibited the highest yield under both 45% FC and 100% FC conditions among all varieties. Overall, Early Green demonstrates potential for sustainable broccoli production under water deficit and changing climate conditions, by enhancing yield and adaptability.
