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 Big Grain1 (BG1) gene of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is reported to increase the yield of rice crops; however, its molecular mechanism is largely concealed. To explore its functional prospects, we have taken a structure-function-based approach. In silico analyses suggest OsBG1 is a DNA- and phytohormone-binding protein. Heterologous expression of OsBG1 with galactose-inducible promoter GAL1p in the rhizospheric yeast Candida tropicalis SY005 revealed 7.9- and 1.5-fold higher expression of the gene at 12 and 24 h, respectively, compared to the expression at 36 h post-galactose induction. Functional activity of the induced OsBG1 in engineered yeast increased cell density, specific growth rate, and biomass by 28.5%, 29.8%, and 14.1%, respectively, and decreased the generation time by 21.25%. Flow cytometry-based cell cycle analysis of OsBG1-expressing yeast cells exhibited an increase in the cells of the G2/M population by 15.8% after 12 h of post-galactose induction. The gene expression study of yeast transformants disclosed that OsBG1 regulates cell division by upregulating the expression of the endogenous gene cyclin B1 (CtCYB1) by 1.3- and 1.9-folds at 10 and 12 h, respectively, compared to the control, and is positively influenced by the phytohormone indole acetic acid (IAA). Further, the study revealed that OsBG1 significantly increases biofilm formation, stress tolerance, and IAA production in C. tropicalis SY005, implying its prospective role in enhancing plant growth-promoting traits in microbes. OsBG1-expressing rhizospheric yeast cells significantly improved the germination and growth parameters of the bio-inoculated rice seeds. Altogether, this study suggests OsBG1 can be employed to genetically improve suitable bio-inoculants for their plant growth-promoting traits to augment crop productivity. KEY POINTS: • In silico analyses suggested OsBG1 is a phytohormone-binding transcription factor. • OsBG1 enhanced growth in rhizospheric Candida tropicalis by upregulating CtCYB1. • OsBG1 improved plant growth-promoting traits of the rhizospheric yeast C. tropicalis.
