A renewed focus on carbon uptake and use to enhance crop performance in the face of rising temperatures.
Review in Plant physiology, 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
Increasing crop production to meet global food demand amid a more unstable climate is a challenge that requires new approaches from science and technology. To meet this challenge, plant physiologists must coordinate efforts with crop breeders to select appropriate traits and associated genes that drive improvements in crop performance. However, improvements in yield gain and yield quality are often blind to mechanistic understanding. Recent insights suggest that a deeper understanding of carbon metabolism could contribute to step changes in the yield potential of major crops. By enhancing the efficiency of turning captured light and carbon into biomass via increasing photosynthesis and the efficiency of respiratory energy production and use, crop yields could be dramatically enhanced. Exploiting this opportunity requires the technical ability to identify germplasm with desired carbon metabolism traits, because such traits are especially responsive to developmental changes, tissue type, and environmental perturbations. For practical field-based selection for beneficial performance in carbon metabolism, physiologists must broaden their experimental procedures to incorporate the temporal and spatial dynamics of carbon capture and its use. Advancements in remote sensing and artificial intelligence may prove crucial on this front, launching a new path to crop improvement.
