Mepiquat chloride inhibits soybean growth but improves drought resistance.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 10 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
Soybeans are an important economic crop. As the most widely used growth regulator globally, the molecular mechanism of mepiquat chloride (DPC) in soybean remains unknown. In this study, RNA sequencing technology combined with ultra-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry were used to analyze the changes in the leaf transcriptome and metabolomics of soybean leaves at the seedling stage under DPC stress. The results showed that differentially expressed genes related to photosynthesis and cell wall synthesis were significantly downregulated at the transcriptional level. In addition, the syntheses of gibberellin, zeatin, brassinolide, and other plant hormones were inhibited in the signal transduction pathway of plant hormones, thereby inhibiting plant growth. In contrast, at the metabolic level, the expression levels of flavonoid differential metabolites were significantly increased, and the proportions of flavonoids in the two varieties were 61.5 and 66%, respectively. The combined analysis of transcriptome and metabolomics showed that the differential expressed genes and metabolites were mainly enriched in the isoflavonoid biosynthesis and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways. Principally, DPC inhibited plant growth but improved drought resistance. Our study is the first to report the molecular mechanism of DPC regulation in soybean, providing useful insights into the rational application of DPC in soybean.
