1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Crop plants have to cope with phytochemical variability along with other environmental stresses. Allelochemicals affect several cellular processes. We tested the effect of toxic aqueous leachates from Sicyos deppei, Acacia sedillense, Sebastiania adenophora, and Lantana camara on the radicle growth and cytoplasmic protein synthesis patterns of Zea mays (maize), Phaseolus vulgaris (bean), Cucurbita pepo (squash), and Lycopersicon esculentum (tomato). 2D-PAGE and gel scan densitometry analysis were used to detect differences in cytoplasmic root protein pattern expression. High-, medium-, and low-molecular-weight cytoplasmic proteins were affected by the different aqueous leachates. Crop plant responses were diverse, but in general, an increase in protein synthesis was observed in the treated roots. Maize was the least affected, but both the radicle growth and also the protein pattern of tomato were severely inhibited by all allelopathic plants. The changes observed in protein expression may indicate a biochemical alteration at the cellular level of the tested crop plants.
