Limited Plasticity of Stomatal Development in Apple Trees Across Diverse European Climates.
Article in Physiologia plantarum. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Climate change affects plant acclimation and adaptation, particularly in long-lived perennial crops like apple (Malus domestica Borkh.). Stomata play an essential role in regulating these plant environmental responses. This study examined variation in stomatal density (SD) and stomatal function of apple trees in 2022-2023 across four European locations (Spain, ESP; France, FRA; Italy, ITA; and Switzerland, CHE, the only non-irrigated orchard). A total of 20 preselected apple accessions with extreme SD phenotypes (HSD and LSD) and five commercial varieties (MSD-Comm) were compared. Across locations, SD was consistent for each SD group, but partial plasticity emerged under heat stress in ESP and FRA. In ESP, SD increased under high temperatures and irrigation, but the increase was only significant for MSD-Comm (p < 0.05). In FRA, HSD decreased under high temperatures and limited irrigation in 2022, but these changes reversed under wetter conditions in 2023 (p < 0.05), reinforcing SD stability and the capacity for local acclimation.
