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
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are critical for the plant growth and development. BRs signal through the plasma membrane localized receptor-like kinases to downstream transcription factors BES1/BZR1 to regulate the expression of thousands of genes for various BR responses. In addition to the role in plant growth and development, BRs have been implicated in responses to environmental stresses such as drought. However, the mechanism through which BRs regulate drought have just begun emerging. We have recently found that a group of WRKY transcription factors, WRKY46, WRKY54, WRKY70, which are well known for the function in abiotic and biotic stress, cooperates with BES1 to mediate BR-regulated drought response. The wrky46 wrky54 wrky70 triple mutants showed growth defect, likely due to impaired BR signaling as well as some reduction of endogenous BR level. WRKY46/54/70 cooperates with BES1 to regulate the expression of BR target genes to promote growth. We also found that WRKY46/54/70 negatively modulates drought tolerance by globally repressing drought-inducible gene expression. Thus, our result uncovers a new role for WRKY transcription factors in BR signaling and provides the molecular mechanism for BR-regulated plant growth and drought stress through WRKY46/54/70 and BES1 transcription factors.
