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

The RT-qPCR has been the method used to analyze gene expression in plants but its benefits have not been completely exploited in the field of plants ecotoxicology when used as molecular biomarkers. The correct use of RT-qPCR demands to establish a certain number of reference genes (RG) which are expected to be invariable in their expression although it does not always happen. The main goals of this work were to: (1) analyze the stability of six potential RG, (2) establish the optimum number of RG, (3) select the most suitable RG to be applied in
