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 effects of short-term boron deficiency on several aspects (growth, biomass allocation, metabolite concentrations, gene expression, enzyme activities) related with nitrate assimilation were studied in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) plants in order to know the early changes caused by this mineral deficiency. For this purpose, plants were grown hydroponically in a nutrient solution supplemented with 10 microM boron and then transferred to a boron-free medium for 1-5 days. Nitrate concentration decreased in both leaves and roots under boron deficiency, which was not observed in control plants. This correlated with the lower net nitrate uptake rate found in boron-deficient plants when compared to boron-sufficient ones. Results suggest that boron deficiency decreases net nitrate uptake by declining the activity of nitrate transporters rather than affecting their transcript levels. This is supported by a drop in the levels of root PMA2 transcript during the boron deficient treatment, which could lead to a decrease in the plasma membrane H+-ATPase activity necessary to get protons out of cell for the cotransport with nitrate inwards. In addition, boron deficiency led to an increase in root Asn content and a decline in glutamine synthetase activity when compared to control plants, which suggest that this mineral deficiency may promote ammonium assimilation via asparagine synthetase in tobacco roots.
