Light-Controlled Seed Germination: Molecular Integration With Environmental Signals.
Review in Plant, cell & environment, 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
Seed germination is a critical developmental transition in plants, tightly regulated by a multitude of environmental factors. Light serves as a central coordinator, integrating with other signals like temperature and water availability to precisely control the timing of germination. This review synthesises recent advances in the molecular understanding of light-mediated germination, with a focus on the roles of photoreceptors, core E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, key transcriptional regulators and epigenetic modifications in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. We further propose integrative models that delineate how light signalling converges with temperature and water pathways to regulate dormancy release and germination initiation. A deeper mechanistic knowledge of how seeds process and integrate these environmental cues is crucial for manipulating and optimising plant establishment in changing environments.
