Dose-dependent effects of gamma irradiation on growth and reproductive traits of strawberry.
Article in BMC plant biology, 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
backgroundRadiosensitivity tests must be performed to determine the ideal doses before using gamma irradiation. This study investigated the effects of varying doses of gamma radiation (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 Gy) on the growth and reproductive development of strawberry plants.
resultsGamma irradiation exhibited a clear dose-dependent response in strawberry plants, with 30 Gy producing the most favorable responses for several vegetative and reproductive traits. At 30 Gy, plants showed the highest leaf area, flower number (16.66 flowers plant⁻¹), root length (20.66 cm), and leaf fresh and dry weights (2.69 and 0.83 g, respectively). In contrast, doses ≥ 60 Gy markedly reduced survival and most growth and reproductive parameters, with severe effects at 80-100 Gy. The estimated LD25, LD50, and LD75 values were 23.6, 51.7, and 79.8 Gy, respectively, providing a quantitative radiosensitivity profile for dose selection in subsequent gamma-induced mutation-breeding experiments.
conclusionsThese results demonstrate that the moderate gamma-ray dose (30 Gy) produced the most favorable growth, root development, and flowering responses in strawberry, indicating a possible hormetic effect. Doses above 50 Gy markedly reduced survival and growth, identifying them as potential candidate doses for subsequent mutation-breeding studies, pending confirmation of heritable genetic variation.
