Species-specific thermal thresholds for postdispersal embryo growth in Apiaceae.
Article in American journal of botany, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
premiseTemperature is a primary regulator of seed development. In seeds with morphological (MD) or morphophysiological (MPD) dormancy, embryo elongation represents a distinct postdispersal developmental phase that precedes germination. However, the thermal thresholds governing this embryo growth phase remain poorly quantified. We quantified species-specific embryo-growth thermal niches to provide a mechanistic framework for understanding regeneration timing and its evolutionary constraints.

conclusionsPostdispersal embryo growth constitutes a distinct, quantifiable thermal niche rather than a mere proxy for germination. By explicitly treating postdispersal embryo growth as a distinct thermal niche rather than a proxy for germination, this study extends thermal threshold theory to an overlooked developmental phase and provides a mechanistic framework for understanding dormancy release and regeneration timing under variable climatic conditions.
