Improving coordination of plant growth and nitrogen metabolism for sustainable agriculture.
Review in aBIOTECH, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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 agricultural green revolution of the 1960s boosted cereal crop yield was in part due to cultivation of semi-dwarf green revolution varieties. The semi-dwarf plants resist lodging and require high nitrogen (N) fertilizer inputs to maximize yield. To produce higher grain yield, inorganic fertilizer has been overused by Chinese farmers in intensive crop production. With the ongoing increase in the food demand of global population and the environmental pollution, improving crop productivity with reduced N supply is a pressing challenge. Despite a great deal of research efforts, to date only a few genes that improve N use efficiency (NUE) have been identified. The molecular mechanisms underlying the coordination of plant growth, carbon (C) and N assimilation is still not fully understood, thus preventing significant improvement. Recent advances have shed light on how explore NUE within an overall plant biology system that considered the co-regulation of plant growth, C and N metabolisms as a whole, rather than focusing specifically on N uptake and assimilation. There are several potential approaches to improve NUE discussed in this review. Increasing knowledge of how plants sense and respond to changes in N availability, as well as identifying new targets for breeding strategies to simultaneously improve NUE and grain yield, could usher in a new green revolution.
