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 messageBanana MaBZR1/2 interact with MaMPK14 to enhance the transcriptional inhibition of cell wall modifying genes including MaEXP2, MaPL2 and MaXET5. Fruit ripening and softening, the major attributes to perishability in fleshy fruits, are modulated by various plant hormones and gene expression. Banana MaBZR1/2, the central transcription factors of brassinosteroid (BR) signaling, mediate fruit ripening through regulation of ethylene biosynthesis, but their possible roles in fruit softening as well as the underlying mechanisms remain to be determined. In this work, we found that MaBZR1/2 directly bound to and repressed the promoters of several cell wall modifying genes such as MaEXP2, MaPL2 and MaXET5, whose transcripts were elevated concomitant with fruit ripening. Moreover, yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assays indicated that MaBZR1/2 physically interacted with a mitogen-activated protein kinase MaMPK14, and this interaction strengthened the MaBZR1/2-mediated transcriptional inhibitory abilities. Collectively, our study provides insight into the mechanism of MaBZR1/2 contributing to fruit ripening and softening, which may have potential for banana molecular improvement.
