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

Root system architecture (RSA) is pivotal to plant nutrient acquisition and environmental adaptation. In recent years, peptide hormones-intercellular signaling molecules that act locally or systemically-have emerged as critical regulators of RSA. These hormones are recognized by specific receptor kinases, which transduce peptide signals by activating downstream pathways involving calcium fluxes, reactive oxygen species bursts, and mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades, or by directly modulating core signaling components. These signaling networks integrate endogenous developmental cues with exogenous environmental stimuli to fine-tune root growth and development, thereby shaping RSA plasticity. This review provides a systematic analysis of the essential roles of peptide hormones in regulating RSA plasticity, elucidates their associated molecular pathways, and critically assesses their potential to optimize crop RSA, improve nutrient use efficiency, and enhance stress resistance, thereby contributing to sustainable agriculture.
