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
By promoting cell wall loosening, expansins contribute to cell enlargement during various developmental processes. Nevertheless, the role of expansins in the expansion and development of endosperm--a major seed component whose cell size is significantly associated with grain yield--is poorly understood. To explore associated biological processes and the evolution of expansins in maize, we performed a systematic analysis of the expansin gene family encompassing gene structure, phylogeny, chromosomal location, gene duplication, and gene ontology. A total of 88 maize expansin genes (ZmEXPs) were identified and categorized into three subfamilies according to their phylogenetic relationships. Expression patterns of ZmEXPs were also investigated in nine different tissues by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The expression of eight ZmEXPs was detected in endosperm, with five showing endosperm-specific expression. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to analyze expression patterns of the eight ZmEXPs in endosperm (10 days after pollination) under abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid (GA3) treatments. All eight ZmEXPs were found to be significantly regulated by ABA and GA3 in endosperm, suggesting important roles for these hormones in the regulation of ZmEXPs during endosperm development. Our results provide essential information for ZmEXPs cloning and functional exploration, which will assist research on expansin-related mechanisms and contribute to future enhancement of maize grain yield.
