Next-generation biostimulants: molecular insights, digital integration, and regulatory frameworks for sustainable agriculture.
Review in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. 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 development of biostimulants is undergoing a critical evolution, shifting from empirical applications toward precisely engineered solutions. However, this transition is hampered by fundamental gaps, inclusive of: (1) the absence of temporal-technological frameworks connecting biostimulants development with broader agricultural revolutions, (2) insufficient mechanistic understanding linking molecular modes of action to precision application strategies, and (3) unclear regulatory frameworks and integration pathways for biostimulants within digital agriculture ecosystems (AI/IoT). This review synthesises the evolution of biostimulants through a generational framework (1.0-4.0) and examines their integration with Agriculture 5.0 technologies. We analyse classifications, molecular mechanisms, and regulatory frameworks while evaluating omics-driven precision biostimulant formulations for AI/IoT integration. Our analysis suggests that successful integration requires coordinated molecular validation, regulatory harmonisation, and digital platform development, providing researchers and policymakers with a roadmap for advancing biostimulants science from fragmented research toward systematic, technology-enabled solutions for climate-smart and sustainable agriculture, in line with SDGs 2, 13, and 15.
