Cadmium toxicity in plants: from transport to tolerance mechanisms.
Review in Plant signaling & behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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
Cadmium (Cd), a non-essential heavy metal, induces severe phytotoxicity through oxidative stress and cellular homeostasis disruption. Chronic Cd exposure inhibits plant growth via leaf chlorosis, stunted stem elongation, and impaired root architecture, while disrupting physiological functions through chlorophyll degradation, membrane peroxidation, and antioxidant system collapse. This review systematically investigates plant adaptive responses to Cd stress. It examines the processes of Cd uptake pathways, translocation dynamics, physiological toxicity, and molecular defense mechanisms. Key findings highlight two main protective strategies: avoidance mechanisms involving root secretion regulation, cellular compartmentalization, efflux transport, and the other through chelation, antioxidant systems, and phytohormonal regulation in tolerance mechanisms. A particular emphasis is placed on the coordinated actions between metal-chelating compounds (including PCs, MTs, and MTPs) and both enzymatic (SOD, CAT) and non-enzymatic antioxidants. These insights advance the theoretical framework for plant Cd resistance and inform innovative implications for developing effective remediation approaches.
