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, as an abiotic stressor, globally limits cereal productivity, leading to early aging of leaves and lower yields. The expression of the isopentenyl transferase (IPT) gene, which is involved in cytokinin (CK) biosynthesis, can delay drought-induced leaf senescence. In this study, the Agrobacterium Isopentenyl transferase (IPT) gene was introduced into two local hexaploid wheat cultivars, NR-421 and FSD-2008. The expression cassette was developed containing the IPT gene under transcriptional regulation of the stress-inducible promoter 'Dehydrin,' sourced from Hordeum vulgare. The gene expression cassette was assembled in pSB219M, a modified transformation vector for monocots, equipped with both an antibiotic (spectinomycin) and an herbicide selection marker (BASTA). Initial screening of transgenic plants involved BASTA selection (2 and 3 mg/L) and was subsequently confirmed through PCR analysis. The transformation efficiencies of NR-421 and FSD-2008 were 0.4% and 0.3%, respectively. The qRT-PCR analysis under stress conditions showed a 13.5-fold higher expression of the IPT gene in T
