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
key messageNulliplex-branch (nb) mutants in cotton display a specific architecture. The gene responsible for the nb phenotype was identified, and its modulation mode was further studied. Plant architecture is an important agronomic factor influencing various traits such as yield and variety adaptability in crop plants. Cotton (Gossypium) simultaneously displays monopodial and sympodial growth. Nulliplex-branch (nb) mutants showing determinate sympodial shoots have been reported in both G. hirsutum (Ghnb) and G. barbadense (Gbnb). In this study, the gene responsible for the nb phenotype was identified. GhNB and GbNB were found to be allelic loci and are TERMINAL FLOWER 1 orthologs on the Dt subgenome, though the At copies remain native. Sequencing and association analyses identified four (Gh-nb1-Gh-nb4) and one (Gb-nb1) type of point mutation in the coding sequences of Ghnb and Gbnb, respectively. The NB gene was mainly expressed in the root and shoot apex, and expression rhythms were also observed in these tissues, suggesting that the expression of the NB gene could be regulated by photoperiod. Constitutive overexpression of GhNB suppresses the differentiation of the reproductive shoots. Knockout of both copies of GhNB caused the main and lateral shoots to terminate in flowers, which is a more determinate architecture than that of the nb mutants and implies that its function might be dosage dependent. A protein lipid overlay assay indicated that the amino acid substitutions in Gh-nb1 and Gb-nb1 weaken the ligand-binding activity of the NB protein in vitro. These findings suggest that the NB gene plays crucial roles in regulating the determinacy of shoots, and the modulation of this gene should constitute an effective crop improvement approach through adjusting the growth habit of cotton.
