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

Plant ecophysiology is the discipline within plant physiology that focuses on understanding how physiological processes in relation to environmental changes occur and how such responses differ among species. In this review, we provide a brief introduction to the historical corners that built the foundations of the discipline. Then, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Plant Physiology, we highlight a sample of the key papers published by the journal over a century that have been landmarks in the development of Plant Ecophysiology as the well-structured discipline that it is nowadays. These are discussed within a broader historical and conceptual framework that synthesizes the development of 4 major research areas: plant growth and survival under environmental constraints, plant water relations and hydraulics, photosynthetic gas exchange, and photochemistry and photoprotection. By doing so, we aim to provide both a historical perspective and an assessment of the current state of the art across these interlinked domains of plant ecophysiology.
