Multivariate analysis of Iris meda Stapf based on phenological and morphological characteristics.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The genus Iris represents one of the most diverse and horticulturally valuable ornamental groups worldwide, with considerable ecological, morphological, and genetic importance. However, despite its significance, many species remain poorly characterized, and the extent of intraspecific variability is largely underexplored, limiting their effective utilization in breeding and conservation. Iris meda Stapf, a narrowly distributed yet morphologically diverse species native to the Irano-Turanian region, was investigated in this study to address this knowledge gap and to assess its phenotypic variation. A total of 108 wild accessions from the Tafresh region of Iran were evaluated based on 41 morphological traits. Comprehensive multivariate analysis revealed substantial phenotypic diversity, with particularly high coefficients of variation in leaf shape (62.56%), crest color (59.79%), and standard color (46.35%). Elite genotypes such as 'I. meda-3', 'I. meda-7', and 'I. meda-36' were identified for their superior floral traits, while morphologically divergent outliers-including 'I. meda-10', 'I. meda-23', and 'I. meda-59'-exhibited notable divergence in PCA biplots. Strong correlations were observed between flower diameter and surface area (r = 0.80; β = 0.87) and between fall length and beard length (β = 0.63). Principal component analysis indicated that floral architecture, vegetative growth, and pigmentation were the primary contributors to variation. These findings highlight the considerable genetic resources available in I. meda for ornamental breeding and conservation programs.
