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

Combined drought-heat stress is not adequately described by adding the responses to drought and heat in isolation. Water limitation restricts evaporative cooling, whereas high temperature increases atmospheric demand and threatens photosynthesis, proteostasis, and reproduction. To assess what has been demonstrated rather than merely proposed, we combined a structured narrative review with a study-level evidence map spanning genomics, multi-omics, and emerging artificial intelligence (AI). The PubMed search, updated on 9 August 2026, returned 254 records; targeted and backward searches contributed eight seminal or reviewer-nominated publications. Independent screening retained 90 verified publications: 69 direct combined-stress studies, 11 genomics studies, six original AI or prediction studies, and four reviews or quantitative syntheses used for context. No conserved molecular signature emerged. Response direction varied with soil water status, vapor-pressure deficit, stress order, tissue, and developmental stage. Carbon allocation, redox and proteostasis balance, reproductive failure, and recovery recurred across omics layers, although neither their direction nor their adaptive value was consistent. Genomic loci and predictive performance were also environment dependent. Direct uses of AI remain uncommon and currently support prioritization more convincingly than causal inference. We organize this uneven evidence as a ladder extending from molecular association to functional validation, multi-environment prediction, and cultivar deployment. The main shortage is not another nominal omics layer but harmonized factorial experiments that measure recovery and reproduction, report field-relevant environmental metadata, and include external validation.
