Effects of light qualities on the growth phenotype and internal components of
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2026. 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
Introduction: Light quality is one of the key environmental factors affecting the growth, development, and internal composition of edible fungi. However, its specific effects on Methods: Results: Light quality significantly modulated specific developmental traits. Red light (R) most effectively accelerated early fruiting body formation, while natural light (N) optimized late-stage morphological expansion. Green light (G) uniquely increased the number of leaf-like structures. For quality attributes, natural and blue light enhanced color saturation and visual appeal. Natural and red light improved the flavor profile by increasing the proportion of umami and sweet amino acids. Pink light (P) was identified as optimal for simultaneously boosting the content of polysaccharides, proteins, and cellulose. In contrast, yellow light (Y) and continuous darkness severely suppressed most growth and quality metrics. Discussion: This study systematically demonstrates the differential regulatory effects of light quality on the phenotype, sensory quality, and nutritional/functional components of
