Temporal dynamics of plant movement under task constraints.
Article in Movement ecology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMovement time (MT) reflects how organisms adjust their movements to environmental constraints. In climbing plants, successful attachment to external supports depends on the temporal organization of their exploratory movements (i.e., circumnutation). Yet it remains unclear whether MT in plants varies as a function of different support properties such as its distance and width, and how multiple constraints jointly shape movement execution.
methodsTo this end, pea plants were tested with supports differing in width (1.1 vs. 2 cm) and distance (5 vs. 10 cm). MT, circumnutation kinematics (i.e., duration, length and total of circumnutation) and morphological measures were analysed.
resultsPea plants modulated the temporal dynamics of their approach-to-clasp movement in response to different task constraints. Specifically, MT increased as both support distance and support width increased, indicating that these factors acted as cumulative spatial constraints.
conclusionThese findings suggest that spatial constraints modulate the temporal dynamics of pea plant approach-to-clasp movements providing a basis for future investigations into how environmental factors shape plant behaviour.
