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
Hibiscus syriacus, azalea, is an important woody ornamental shrub planted throughout many temperate and subtropical regions of the world. However, flower size is smaller in this species than some of its relatives. To increase flower size, interspecific hybridization has been used, and such hybrid cultivars are usually characterized by larger flowers, increased vigor, diverse leaf shapes, and reduced fertility. Our earlier studies have shown that these hybrid cultivars could backcross with H. syriacus when used as male parents. To understand the breeding potential of these hybrid cultivars, two popular tetraploid hybrid cultivars, ‘Lohengrin’ and ‘Resi’, were used as pollen parents to backcross several tetraploid H. syriacus cultivars. As a result, 28.76% and 64.4% of ‘Lohengrin’ and ‘Resi’ progenies exhibited larger flowers than both of their parents. Interestingly, 14 of 18 progenies of ‘Resi’ were putative hexaploids, whereas 19 tested ‘Lohengrin’ progenies were tetraploid. Because putative hexaploid progenies were only observed among progenies of ‘Resi’, this hybrid cultivar appears to produce unreduced gametes. In addition, among the 14 putative hexaploids derived from ‘Resi’, 11 had larger flowers than both of their parents and their tetraploid siblings (p < 0.05). The 45S rDNA and 5S rDNA locus segregation among those BC1F1 progenies was tested by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and the wide range of 45S rDNA signal numbers among siblings indicated that these aneuploids resulted from unequal segregation or chromosome rearrangement. Chromosome counting confirmed aneuploidy among BC1F1 progenies. Ploidy diversity and aneuploidy have been known to contribute to various elements of morphological diversity, such as larger flower size and reduced fertility, which are important in ornamental plant breeding. The present study demonstrated the breeding potential of interspecific Hibiscus cultivars for increasing ploidy level and flower size.
