1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

As global agricultural challenges intensify, particularly drought stress, the exploration of innovative strategies for crop resilience has become crucial. This study focuses on the role of the microbial endophyte metabolite Albaflavenone in enhancing drought resistance in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) through the activation of the SlMAPK1 protein in the MAPK pathway. To computationally analyze the interaction between Albaflavenone and SlMAPK1 and to elucidate the potential enhancement of drought tolerance in tomato plants through this interaction. We utilized molecular docking, homology modeling, and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the binding affinities and interaction dynamics between SlMAPK1 and Albaflavenone. Functional network analysis was employed to examine protein-protein interactions within the MAPK pathway, while the MM-GBSA method was used to calculate binding free energies. Our computational analyses revealed that Albaflavenone exhibited a high binding affinity to SlMAPK1 with a binding energy of - 8.9 kcal/mol. Molecular dynamics simulations showed this interaction significantly stabilized SlMAPK1, suggesting enhanced activity. Specifically, the root mean square deviation (RMSD) of the Albaflavenone-SlMAPK1 complex stabilized at around 3.1 Å, while the root mean square fluctuations (RMSF) indicated consistent amino acid conformations. Additionally, the radius of gyration (R
