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
Plants respond to pathogen infection with the activation of the expression of pathogenesis-related genes, a response that involves Ca2+-regulated protein phosphorylation processes. We report here the isolation of a full-length complementary DNA encoding a calcium-dependent protein kinase (CPK) gene from maize. CPK genes occur in maize as members of a multigene family, but only one specific CPK gene, the ZmCPK10 gene here described, is transcriptionally activated in response to both fungal infection and treatment with fungal elicitors. Activation of the ZmCPK10 gene is extremely rapid. ZmCPK10 transcripts could be detected 5 min after elicitation and reached maximum levels at 30 min after treatment. Afterwards, there was a decline in the level of ZmCPK10 transcripts followed by a basal level of accumulation which is maintained over the time period of elicitor treatment. The activation of this kinase is accompanied by an increase in the level of PRms mRNA, the PRms being a pathogenesis-related protein from maize whose expression is induced in maize tissues in response to fungal infection and treatment with fungal elicitors. In situ mRNA hybridization analysis revealed a remarkable cell-type specific pattern of expression of ZmCPK10 during growth and development of the elicitor-treated or fungus-infected seedling. Moreover, the ZmCPK10 gene is expressed only in those specific cell types in which the PRms gene is also expressed. The involvement of ZmCPK10 in the elicitor-induced signal transduction pathway leading to the activation of PRms gene expression is discussed.
