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

Drought limits crop performance worldwide. Plant roots' ability to grow toward moisture, termed hydrotropism, is considered one strategy for optimizing water recruitment from the growth medium. Based on the sequence of the hydrotropism-indispensable MIZ1 protein in Arabidopsis thaliana, we identify hydrotropism and drought-responsive genes in tomato. We utilized CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing technology for targeted mutagenesis of three hydrotropism-associated loci (MIZ1-like) in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). We show that the three tomato MIZ1-like genes are drought-responsive and two of them are hydrostimulation-responsive. Examination of the root hydrotropic response of triple and double mutants indicated the gene SlMIZ1-1 as indispensable for tomato root hydrotropism. Moreover, expression of the SlMIZ1-1 gene in the Arabidopsis miz1 mutant effectively complemented the lost MIZ1 functionality, including root hydrotropic bending and generation of hydrotropic Ca
