1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Emerging evidence suggests that the stress hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is also involved in the floral transition control. The transcription factors ABA INSENSITIVE4 (ABI4) and ABI5 negatively regulate flowering by directly promoting FLOWERING LOCUS C expression, and ABI3 also negatively regulates the floral transition. However, the genetic relationships between ABI4 and both ABI5 and ABI3 remain elusive. Here, we generated transgenic plants overexpressing ABI4 in the abi5 (OE-ABI4::abi5) and abi3 backgrounds (OE-ABI4::abi3). The flowering phenotypic analysis demonstrated that OE-ABI4::abi5 and OE-ABI4::abi3 plants exhibited delayed flowering. These findings suggest that ABI4 independently regulates floral transition but not through ABI5 and ABI3 cascades.
