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
Heterotrimeric G proteins consisting of Gα, Gβ and Gγ subunits act as downstream effectors to regulate multiple functions including abiotic stress tolerance. However, the mechanism of Gβ-mediated heat and drought tolerance is yet to be established. To explore the role of Pisum sativum Gβ subunit (PsGβ) in heat and drought stress, transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing (OEs) PsGβ were raised. Transgenic plants showing ectopic expression of PsGβ performed better under heat and drought stress in comparison with vector control plants. The seed germination, relative water content (RWC) and nitric oxide (NO) induction in the guard cells of transgenic plants were significantly higher in contrast to control plants. PsGβ promoter was isolated and several stress-responsive elements were identified. The change in Gβ expression in response to heat, methyl jasmonate (MeJA), abscisic acid (ABA), drought and salt confirms the presence of heat, low temperature and drought-responsive elements in the PsGβ promoter. Also, heat and drought stress caused the release of NO-induced stomatal closure in the leaves of transgenic tobacco plants OEs PsGβ. The better performance of transgenic plant OEs PsGβ is also attributed to the improved photosynthetic parameters as compared with control plants. These findings suggest a role of PsGβ in the signalling pathway leading to NO-induced stomatal closure during heat and drought stress.
