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
MAIN
conclusionThe small 295-bp ZmPht1; 5 promoter is sufficient to drive high-intensity expression of target genes, especially under phosphate deprivation conditions, and is therefore useful for crop improvement via transgenic techniques. Phosphate (Pi) deficiency has become a major challenge and limiting factor in world agricultural production. Manipulating the gene expression using appropriate promoters to improve the Pi absorption and utilization efficiency of crops could reduce the requirement for Pi fertilizers. In the study, a 295-bp strong promoter (M2P-7) of maize high-affinity phosphate transporter ZmPht1; 5 was isolated and functionally validated in transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana and maize by analyzing the ZmPht1; 5 promoter (M2P-1) and its 5' truncated variants (M2P-2 ~ M2P-8) in different sizes under normal and Pi-deprivation conditions. The M2P-7 displayed the highest promoter activities among 5' truncated fragments in all tested tissues of transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana at different development stages, which was 1.5 and 3 times higher than the well-used CaMV35S promoter under normal and Pi-deprivation conditions, respectively. In maize, the M2P-7 promoter activity was comparable to the maize ubiquitin1 promoter widely used in monocots under normal condition, which was about 1.3 times that of the ubiquitin1 promoter under Pi-deprivation environments. Moreover, the M2P-7 fragment is only 295 bp in length, thus reducing the construct size, and is therefore beneficial for genetic transformation. Thus, the small promoter M2P-7 of plant origin could be of great use for monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous crop improvement via transgenic techniques based on its promoter activities, expression patterns and small size.
