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
Primary seed dormancy is a mechanism that orchestrates the timing of seed germination in order to prevent out-of-season germination. Secondary dormancy can be induced in imbibed seeds when they encounter prolonged unfavourable conditions. Secondary dormancy is not induced during dry storage, and therefore the mechanisms underlying this process have remained largely unexplored. Here, a 2-year seed burial experiment in which dormancy cycling was studied at the physiological and transcriptional level is presented. For these analyses six different Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes were used: Landsberg erecta (Ler) and the dormancy associated DELAY OF GERMINATION (DOG) near-isogenic lines 1, 2, 3, 6 and 22 (NILDOG1, 2, 3, 6 and 22). The germination potential of seeds exhumed from the field showed that these seeds go through dormancy cycling and that the dynamics of this cycling is genotype dependent. RNA-seq analysis revealed large transcriptional changes during dormancy cycling, especially at the time points preceding shifts in dormancy status. Dormancy cycling is driven by soil temperature and the endosperm is important in the perception of the environment. Genes that are upregulated in the low- to non-dormant stages are enriched for genes involved in translation, indicating that the non-dormant seeds are prepared for rapid seed germination.
