Environmental drivers of date fruit unripening syndrome in dryland regions of Saudi Arabia.
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
Date Fruit Unripening Syndrome (DFUS), a very recently observed phenomenon, is a devastating non-ripening disorder hindering the Rutab-to-Tamar transition. While observed sporadically since 2019, DFUS became prominent in 2024, disproportionately affecting the economically important Khalas cultivar (40%), followed by Sheshi (19%), Reziz and Ghur (16%), and Shahal (10%) in Al-Ahsa. With the highest incidence in Al-Ahsa (20-30%), followed by Riyadh (10-15%) and Al-Qassim (5-10%), DFUS significantly reduces fruit quality and yield, threatening farmers' livelihoods and the socio-economic stability of date palm-dependent communities. This pioneering study investigated the impact of environmental factors-temperature, relative humidity, solar UV index, heat units, and irradiance-on date palm fruit ripening in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, from 2019 to 2024, employing ANOVA (
