Chemical priming of strawberry plants under deficit irrigation enhances yield efficiency and physiological resilience.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Strawberry is a high-value crop with substantial water requirements, rendering it particularly vulnerable to irrigation limitations, especially in regions like the Mediterranean, which is characterized by low summer rainfall and restricted water sources. This study investigated the effects of different priming agents (PAs) on yield efficiency and physiological and biochemical performance of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cv. 'Red Sayma 1075' grown under deficit irrigation. The experiment was conducted under a commercial strawberry setup in Cyprus, using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five blocks serving as biological replicates. The treatments were hydroprimed, 100 µM melatonin (Mel), 0.1% w/v sodium alginate (NaA), 0.1% w/v NaA/100 µM Mel, 2 mM proline, and 0.1% w/v NaA/2 mM proline. Three treatment applications were performed at different times, one at root level of tray plants prior to transplantation and two foliar applications at 8 d and 15 d after transplantation. Plants received 50% of standard irrigation following priming applications to simulate conditions of deficit irrigation. Results demonstrated that Mel, NaA, and NaA/Proline treatments significantly enhanced cumulative yield of early harvest compared with hydroprimed controls. Mel and NaA/Mel displayed significantly higher endogenous Mel content compared with controls. In addition, an array of analysis was conducted ar leaf level at 2, 15 and 29 d after imposition of deficit irrigation. Elevated proline concentrations were observed during early stress stages (2 days), particularly in NaA and NaA/proline treatments. Proline levels were suppressed after 15 d, indicating an adaptive metabolic response in NaA, NaA/Melatonin, proline as well as on NaA/Proline primed plants.
