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
MAIN
conclusionNon-optimal ammonium levels significantly alter root architecture, anatomy and root permeabilities for water and nutrient ions. Higher ammonium levels induced strong apoplastic barriers whereas it was opposite for lower levels. Application of nitrogen fertilizer increases crop productivity. However, non-optimal applications can have negative effects on plant growth and development. In this study, we investigated how different levels of ammonium (NH4 (+)) [low (30 or 100 μM) or optimum (300 μM) or high (1000 or 3000 μM)] affect physio-chemical properties of 1-month-old, hydroponically grown rice roots. Different NH4 (+) treatments markedly altered the root architecture and anatomy. Plants grown in low NH4 (+) had the longest roots with a weak deposition of suberised and lignified apoplastic barriers, and it was opposite for plants grown in high NH4 (+). The relative expression levels of selected suberin and lignin biosynthesis candidate genes, determined using qRT-PCR, were lowest in the roots from low NH4 (+), whereas, they were highest for those grown in high NH4 (+). This was reflected by the suberin and lignin contents, and was significantly lower in roots from low NH4 (+) resulting in greater hydraulic conductivity (Lp r) and solute permeability (P sr) than roots from optimum NH4 (+). In contrast, roots grown at high NH4 (+) had markedly greater suberin and lignin contents, which were reflected by strong barriers. These barriers significantly decreased the P sr of roots but failed to reduce the Lp r below those of roots grown in optimum NH4 (+), which can be explained in terms of the physical properties of the molecules used and the size of pores in the apoplast. It is concluded that, in rice, non-optimal NH4 (+) levels differentially affected root properties including Lp r and P sr to successfully adapt to the changing root environment.
