1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

key messageFramework-primed trehalose uses MOFs to protect and time-release trehalose/T6P exactly when stress hits, converting a fleeting sugar signal into a programmable priming cue that accelerates, strengthens, and sustains abiotic stress memory while minimizing off-target losses. Abiotic stresses increasingly limit crop productivity, motivating delivery-smart biostimulant strategies that can imprint durable stress memory without transgenics. This review uniquely integrates trehalose/T6P biology with metal-organic framework (MOF) delivery engineering, providing the first focused appraisal of MOF-mediated trehalose priming for drought, salinity, heat, and cold resilience. We map how trehalose/T6P orchestrates membrane stabilization, redox poise, and transcriptional reprogramming, then assess how MOF chemistry (metal node, linker, pore size, defect density, and stimuli-responsive degradability) can protect, target, and time-release these sugar signals to better align with stress onset. Unlike prior reviews that either survey trehalose/T6P signaling or catalog agricultural MOFs and other nanocarriers, we bridge both, extracting design rules (cargo loading routes, gating strategies, soil/leaf triggers), performance metrics (release half-time vs. stress dynamics, dose-response windows, carry-over across growth stages), and risk/translation considerations (biocompatibility, fate, regulatory descriptors). We propose a roadmap for advancing MOF-trehalose priming from lab to field, emphasizing side-by-side comparisons with established carriers and transparent reporting of release/efficacy parameters. By coupling signal biology with materials design, this review outlines a precision path to enhance water use efficiency, photosynthesis, and antioxidant defenses while minimizing input waste-offering actionable guidance for researchers and practitioners pursuing climate-resilient agronomy.
