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
Calcium (Ca) is an important structural component of plant cell walls and an intracellular messenger in plants and animals. Therefore, plants tightly control the balance of Ca by regulating Ca uptake and its transfer from cell to cell and organ to organ. Here, we propose that Brassica juncea PCR1 (PCR1), a member of the plant cadmium resistance (PCR) protein family in Indian mustard, is a Ca(2+) efflux transporter that is required for the efficient radial transfer of Ca(2+) in the root and is implicated in the translocation of Ca to the shoot. Knock-down lines of BjPCR1 were greatly stunted and translocated less Ca to the shoot than did the corresponding WT. The localization of BjPCR1 to the plasma membrane and the preferential expression of BjPCR1 in the root epidermal cells of WT plants suggest that BjPCR1 antisense plants could not efficiently transfer Ca(2+) from the root epidermis to the cells located inside the root. Protoplasts isolated from BjPCR1 antisense lines had lower Ca(2+) efflux activity than did those of the WT, and membrane vesicles isolated from BjPCR1-expressing yeast exhibited increased Ca(2+) transport activity. Inhibitor studies, together with theoretical considerations, indicate that BjPCR1 exports one Ca(2+) in exchange for three protons. Root hair-specific expression of BjPCR1 in Arabidopsis results in plants that exhibit increased Ca(2+) resistance and translocation. In conclusion, our data support the hypothesis that BjPCR1 is an exporter required for the translocation of Ca(2+) from the root epidermis to the inner cells, and ultimately to the shoot.
