1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Leaf senescence is a highly complex developmental process that is tightly controlled by multiple layers of regulation. Abscisic acid (ABA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are two well-known factors that promote leaf senescence. We show here that the transcription factor CDF4 positively regulates leaf senescence. Constitutive and inducible overexpression of CDF4 accelerates leaf senescence, while knockdown of CDF4 delays it. CDF4 increases endogenous ABA levels by upregulating the transcription of the ABA biosynthesis genes 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase 2, 3 (NCED2, 3) and suppresses H
