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
MAIN
conclusionPhytoglobin1 promotes Arabidopsis somatic embryogenesis through the mediation of ethylene and the ERFVII HRE2. Generation of somatic embryos in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) is a two-step process, encompassing an induction phase where embryogenic tissue (ET) is formed followed by a developmental phase encouraging the growth of the embryos. Using previously characterized transgenic lines dysregulating the class 1 Phytoglobin (Pgb1) we show that suppression of Pgb1 decreases somatic embryogenesis (SE). Both the formation of ET (SE efficiency) and production of SE (SE productivity) are repressed in explants where Pgb1 is downregulated. The levels of Pgb1 transcripts peak in the middle phase of the induction period coinciding with the formation of the ET. Presence of Pgb1 results in a transcriptional depression of ethylene synthesis and of the class VII ethylene transcription factor (ERFVII) HRE2. Suppression of ethylene after day 3 of induction, or repression of HRE2 are needed for SE efficiency and the decline in HRE2 transcripts appears to be independent from the level of ethylene. Over-expression of HRE2 inhibits SE efficiency regardless of the expression of Pgb1. Furthermore, a functional HRE2 generates a peak in Pgb1 transcripts during the middle induction phase. The expression of another ERFVII, RAP2.12, is not altered by changes in Pgb1 levels, and disruption of RAP2.12 has no effect on SE efficiency although it enhances SE productivity in a Pgb1-independent fashion. Thus, Pgb1 is an important regulator of Arabidopsis SE, and its action is linked to changes in ethylene and the ERFVII HRE2.
