Copper connections: coordinating transport, sensing and systemic signalling in plants.
Review in Quantitative plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Copper is an essential micronutrient that plays critical roles in plant metabolism, development and stress responses through its unique redox properties. While tightly regulated to prevent toxicity, labile copper also functions as a dynamic signalling molecule mediating developmental and environmental cues. Copper bioavailability in soils is influenced by complex physicochemical factors, posing challenges for plant acquisition and homeostasis. Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to regulate copper uptake, long-distance transport, intracellular trafficking and storage, balancing its essentiality with potential toxicity. This review summarizes current knowledge on copper homeostasis in plants, discusses uptake strategies in dicots and non-grass monocots, the coordination of internal copper transport and tissue distribution, and the emerging evidence for systemic copper signalling. Understanding these processes is important for improving crop nutrient use efficiency and resilience in mineral-deficient soils.
