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
Background and Aims: Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant hormones involved in many developmental processes as well as in plant-environment interactions. Their role was investigated in this study through the analysis of lilliputian1-1 (lil1-1), a dwarf mutant impaired in BR biosynthesis in maize (Zea mays). Methods: We isolated lil1-1 through transposon tagging in maize. The action of lil1 was investigated through morphological and genetic analysis. Moreover, by comparing lil1-1 mutant and wild-type individuals grown under drought stress, the effect of BR reduction on the response to drought stress was examined. Key Results: lil1-1 is a novel allele of the brassinosteroid-deficient dwarf1 (brd1) gene, encoding a brassinosteroid C-6 oxidase. We show in this study that lil1 is epistatic to nana plant1 (na1), a BR gene involved in earlier steps of the pathway. The lill-1 mutation causes alteration in the root gravitropic response, leaf epidermal cell density, epicuticular wax deposition and seedling adaptation to water scarcity conditions. Conclusions: Lack of active BR molecules in maize causes a pleiotropic effect on plant development and improves seedling tolerance of drought. BR-deficient maize mutants can thus be instrumental in unravelling novel mechanisms on which plant adaptations to abiotic stress are based.
