Perception of karrikins by plants: a continuing enigma.
Review in Journal of experimental botany, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
Karrikins are small butenolide molecules with the capacity to promote germination and enhance seedling establishment. Generated abiotically from partial combustion of vegetation, karrikins are comparatively rare in the environment, but studying their mode of action has been most informative in revealing a new regulatory pathway for plant development that uses the karrikin perception machinery. Recent studies suggest that the karrikin receptor protein KAI2 and downstream transcriptional co-repressors in the SMXL family influence seed germination, seedling photomorphogenesis, root morphology, and responses to abiotic stress such as drought. Based on taxonomic distribution, this pathway is ubiquitous and likely to be evolutionarily ancient, originating prior to land plants. However, we still do not have a good grasp on how karrikins actually activate the receptor protein, and we have yet to discover the assumed endogenous ligand for KAI2 that karrikins are thought to mimic. This review covers recent progress in this field, as well as current gaps in our knowledge.
