Salicylic acid: a key natural foundation for next-generation plant defense stimulators.
Review in Pest management science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The field of crop protection is undergoing a major transition. The use of conventional biocidal compounds, which have dominated plant protection since the mid-20th century, is now being questioned by societal demands for alternatives that are environmentally friendly and safe for human health. Consequently, new agronomic strategies are needed to ensure sustainable disease management. Among these, the activation of natural plant defenses against pathogens has emerged as a key approach and forms the central theme of this review. Salicylic acid (SA), a seemingly simple bifunctional aromatic compound, plays a pivotal role in plant immunity and in the establishment of systemic acquired resistance (SAR). However, its practical use is limited by rapid metabolism, compartmentalization, and potential phytotoxicity. To overcome these constraints, numerous SA analogs and derivatives have been developed to mimic or prolong its defensive action. A particularly promising, though still underexplored, approach involves the design of mobile bioprecursors and controlled-release formulations capable of distributing throughout the plant and gradually releasing SA or related active species. Such approaches could sustain defense activation over extended periods while minimizing metabolic and environmental costs, paving the way for next-generation plant defense stimulators. © 2025 The Author(s).
