Evolutionary shifts in plant adaptation mediated by phytohormones.
Review in Plant communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The transition of plants from aquatic to terrestrial environments imposed unprecedented ecological and physiological challenges, necessitating the evolution of sophisticated perception and response mechanisms. Phytohormones played a central role in this adaptive transition by orchestrating coordinated physiological and morphological adjustments that improved survival under variable terrestrial conditions. In this review, we examine the evolutionary origin, diversification, and functional specialization of the 10 classical phytohormones-auxin, cytokinins, gibberellins, abscisic acid, ethylene, jasmonates, salicylic acid, strigolactones, brassinosteroids, and peptide hormones-from the algal ancestors of land plants to angiosperms. The timing of the emergence of each hormonal signaling system is considered in parallel with the evolving ecological and physiological demands of terrestrial habitats, highlighting their roles in environmental sensing, stress responses across lineages, and the successful colonization of terrestrial environments and adaptation to life on land. Furthermore, we discuss how the sequential establishment and integration of these networks increased physiological complexity, coordinated growth and development, and provided competitive advantages under fluctuating conditions, underscoring the central role of integrated hormonal signaling in the evolutionary success of land plants.
