Differential effects of rootstock genotype on photosynthetic parameters and fruit quality in grafted 'W. Murcott' mandarin.
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
The selection of a suitable rootstock is critical for sustainable citrus production, particularly in regions facing abiotic constraints like calcareous soils and cold damage. This study aimed to identify viable rootstock alternatives to the standard sour orange (C. aurantium L.) for 'W. Murcott' mandarin cultivation in the calcareous soils of Adana, Turkey. The performance of four rootstocks "Carrizo citrange (C. sinensis × Poncirus trifoliata), Volkameriana (C. volkameriana), sour orange, and Flying Dragon (P. trifoliata var. monstruosa)" was evaluated based on fruit yield, quality parameters, leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD), chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv'/Fm'), and gas exchange measurements. The results demonstrated significant rootstock-induced variation across all measured parameters. Volkameriana produced the highest fruit yield (58.33 kg/tree) and exhibited superior leaf chlorophyll content (73.63 SPAD) and photosynthetic rates. However, it yielded fruits with lower total soluble solids (TSS) and higher titratable acidity (TA) compared to other rootstocks. Carrizo citrange provided an optimal balance, ranking second in yield (48.33 kg/tree) while producing the largest fruits (151.13 g) and the highest TSS (13.63%). It also supported high photosynthetic activity and strong juice color intensity (indicated by a positive a* value). Flying Dragon consistently demonstrated the poorest performance across all metrics, including yield, fruit size, and physiological activity, attributed to its sensitivity to calcareous conditions. Sour orange performed reliably in fruit quality. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships between chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, and yield. In conclusion, while Volkameriana maximizes vegetative growth and yield, Carrizo citrange is recommended as the most suitable rootstock for 'W. Murcott' in this region due to its synergistic combination of high yield, excellent fruit quality, and physiological efficiency.
