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

Drought is a major abiotic stress that limits strawberry productivity worldwide, yet the underlying physiological and molecular mechanisms of cultivar-specific tolerance remains poorly understood. This study integrated physiological, biochemical, and transcriptomic analyses to dissect drought responses of two contrasting cultivars of Fragaria × ananassa: drought-tolerant 'Kara' and drought-sensitive 'E22'. Plants were exposed to both progressive water-deficit (Def) and PEG-induced osmotic stress under controlled greenhouse conditions. Physiologically, the two cultivars diverged substantially: E22 exhibited progressive chlorophyll decline and severe reduction in PSII efficiency (Fv/Fm dropping to 0.64 under PEG), whereas Kara maintained and even increased its chlorophyll content throughout the experiment while sustaining higher Fv/Fm values (> 0.72). Proline accumulation - a key osmoprotective response - was significantly higher in Kara (1.50 vs 0.78 µmol g⁻
