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.

Abstract
Seasonal temperature increases in autumn and winter can significantly disrupt frost tolerance in plants. This inducible trait is acquired during cold acclimation (CA), reduced or lost during de-acclimation (DA), and potentially restored during re-acclimation (RA). The functionality of cellular membranes, closely associated with lipid composition, plays a crucial adaptive role in enabling plants to withstand low-temperature stress. However, studies focusing on effects of DA and RA on frost tolerance, particularly in forage grasses, remain limited. Here, we assessed frost tolerance in high frost tolerant (HFT) and low frost tolerant (LFT) genotypes of Festuca arundinacea following CA, DA, and RA, based on the assessment of their cellular membrane integrity as reflected by the parameter describing the temperature causing a 50% level of electrolyte leakage from cells. Analyses of membrane integrity and lipid composition during CA revealed that the HFT genotype maintained greater membrane stability through extensive remodeling of glycerolipids, including increased lipid unsaturation, particularly in phosphatidylethanolamine, preserved a balanced monogalactosyldiacylglycerol/digalactosyldiacylglycerol ratio, and enhanced triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation, compared to the LFT genotype. DA reversed rearrangements in structural lipids and reduced frost tolerance, whereas RA induced strong genotype-dependent responses, especially in phosphoglycerolipid profiles. Analysis of mRNA accumulation profiles indicated key enzymes potentially involved in lipid remodeling. Major transcriptional changes were observed in phytyl ester synthase 1 (PES1), digalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase 1 (DGD1), and lipoxygenase family genes, indicating their importance during CA, DA, and RA. Collectively, these findings demonstrate, for the first time, that genotype-dependent lipid remodeling underlies the capacity of F. arundinacea to maintain and recover frost tolerance. We further suggest that stress-induced TAG accumulation may function as a protective metabolic buffer, sequestering excess free fatty acids, limiting lipid oxidation, and supporting membrane stability under low-temperature stress.
