Salt glands in exo-recretohalophytes: Development, physiological functions, and prospects for improving crop salt tolerance.
Review in Journal of integrative plant biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In exo-recretohalophytes, specialized structures known as salt glands secrete excess salt ions from plant tissues, thereby maintaining intracellular ion homeostasis and sustaining normal metabolism under salt stress. Based on their cellular composition, salt glands can be unicellular, bicellular, or multicellular, and they originate from undifferentiated precursor cells known as multipotent epidermal stem cells. A complex regulatory network drives the division and differentiation of these cells into functional salt-secreting structures. Three hypotheses have been proposed to explain the physiological mechanisms underlying salt secretion by salt glands, each supported by experimental evidence: The osmotic mechanism, the reverse pinocytosis mechanism, and the animal-like fluid transport mechanism. This review summarizes the structural characteristics, developmental processes, salt secretion mechanisms, and potential applications of salt glands in exo-recretohalophytes, providing a foundation for future studies on salt gland biology and their utilization in developing salt-tolerant crops.
