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
Multiple plant hormones, including strigolactone (SL), play key roles in regulating flowering time. The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) DWARF14 (AtD14) receptor perceives SL and recruits F-box protein MORE AXILLARY GROWTH2 (MAX2) and the SUPPRESSOR OF MAX2-LIKE (SMXL) family proteins. These interactions lead to the degradation of the SMXL repressor proteins, thereby regulating shoot branching, leaf shape, and other developmental processes. However, the molecular mechanism by which SL regulates plant flowering remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that intact strigolactone biosynthesis and signaling pathways are essential for normal flowering in Arabidopsis. Loss-of-function mutants in both SL biosynthesis (max3) and signaling (Atd14 and max2) pathways display earlier flowering, whereas the repressor triple mutant smxl6/7/8 (s678) exhibits the opposite phenotype. Retention of AtD14 in the cytoplasm leads to its inability to repress flowering. Moreover, we show that nuclear-localized AtD14 employs dual strategies to enhance the function of the AP2 transcription factor TARGET OF EAT1 (TOE1). AtD14 directly binds to TOE1 in an SL-dependent manner and stabilizes it. In addition, AtD14-mediated degradation of SMXL7 releases TOE1 from the repressor protein, allowing it to bind to and inhibit the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) promoter. This results in reduced FT transcription and delayed flowering. In summary, AtD14 perception of SL enables the transcription factor TOE1 to repress flowering, providing insights into hormonal control of plant flowering.
