Carbon Dots for Efficient Small Interfering RNA Delivery and Gene Silencing in Plants.
Article in Plant physiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 85 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
The initiation of RNA interference (RNAi) by topically applied small interfering RNA has potential applications for plant functional genomics, crop improvement and crop protection, but the primary obstacle for the development of this technology is the efficient delivery of RNAi effectors into the cell. The plant cell wall is a particularly challenging barrier for the delivery of macromolecules because many of the transfection agents that are commonly used with animal cells produce nanocomplexes that are significantly larger than the size exclusion limit of the cell wall. Here, we illustrate the use of a class of very small nanoparticles, called carbon dots, for delivering small interfering RNA into the model plants
