Bioactive compounds in extracts from short rotation willow shoots known as pharmaceuticals and experimental demonstration of biostimulation of maize plants by these chemical complexes.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. 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
Extracts from willow bark or leaves were shown to contain effective plant biostimulants and pharmaceutical compounds. Considering the limitation in the use of bark raw materials on large scale, here we analyzed the stimulatory effects of extracts from various organs of willow (Salix viminalis L) plants grown as short rotation shrub willow. Metabolomic analysis of water extracts from different organs (leaves, meristems, stems) of two triploid genotypes (Rába and Maros) revealed presence of bioactive compounds. Quantity of phenylpropanoids, flavones, flavonols, anthocyanins, aminobenzoate degradants, plant hormones and stylbenes varied between organs and genotypes. Several of these bioactive compounds are known as pharmaceuticals. Here we carried out phytostimulatory tests by using various extracts for seed priming and foliar spraying of maize plants in greenhouse and field experiments. Both the digital imagining of maize plants and measurements of the plant height showed variable stimulation of growth. Chlorophyll fluorescence parameters indicated improved photosynthetic performance. Increased seed weight/ear and 1000 seed weight (17%) were detected after foliar spraying. The present study supports the extended application of bioactive phytocompounds by offering a novel raw material, the short rotation willow shoots as sources of bioactive compounds for use in agricultural practice and pharmaceutical industry.
