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
DpAP2 is a transcription factor regulating carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. It was speculated that MeJA significantly decreased expression of DpAP2 gene, then the decreasing DpAP2 expression significantly inhibited expression of some key enzyme genes such as PSY, PDS and GGPS in carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. In contrast, it was speculated that GA3 significantly increased expression of DpAP2 gene, then the increasing DpAP2 expression significantly increased expression of some key enzyme genes such as PDS and GGPS in carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. To increase the content of carotenoid, we evaluated the effect of DpAP2 overexpression on carotenoid accumulation in D. parva. Transgenic D. parva showed a higher carotenoid content (3.18 mg/g DW) compared with control group (2.13 mg/g DW) at 9 d. The dosage effects of exogenous hormones MeJA and GA3 were found in D. parva cells treated with different concentrations of MeJA (10, 20, 50, 100 μM) and GA3 (10, 20, 50, 100 μM). The high concentrations of MeJA (10-100 μM) inhibited the accumulation of carotenoid, and the relative expression of DpAP2, PSY, PDS and GGPS decreased significantly. On the contrary, the relative expression of DpAP2, PDS and GGPS increased significantly when D. parva was treated with 10, 20, 50 and 100 μM GA3, which promoted the biosynthesis of carotenoid. Therefore, we inferred that there was a hierarchical regulation from hormone, transcription factor, key enzyme gene to carotenoid accumulation in carotenoid biosynthesis. Carotenoid biosynthesis was enhanced by DpAP2 overexpression (1.4930 fold of control) and exogenous substances such as GA3 (1.5889 fold of control), which laid a foundation for massive accumulation of carotenoids in microalgae. In the future, further studies were required to demonstrate the complex regulatory network.
