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
Nitrate can affect many aspects of plant growth and development, such as promoting root growth and inhibiting the synthesis of secondary metabolites. However, the mechanisms underlying such effects and how plants can integrate nitrate signals and root growth needs further exploration. Here, we identified a nitrate-inducible NAC family transcription factor (TF) NAC056 which promoted both nitrate assimilation and root growth in Arabidopsis. NAC056 is a nuclear-localized transcription activator, which is predominantly expressed in the root system and hypocotyl. Using the yeast one-hybrid assay, we identified the NAC056-specific binding sequence (NAC56BM), T [T/G/A] NCTTG. We further showed that the nac056 mutant compromised root growth. NAC056 overexpression promotes LR Initiation and nitrate deficiency tolerance. Using RNA sequencing analysis and in vitro biochemical experiment, we found NAC056 regulated the expression of genes required for NO3- assimilation, directly targeting the key nitrate assimilation gene NIA1. In addition, mutation of NIA1 suppresses LR development and nitrate deficiency tolerance in the 35S::NAC056 transgenic plants. Therefore, NAC056 mediates the response of plants to environmental nitrate signals to promote root growth in Arabidopsis.
