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
key messageGhPMEI58 is a functional pectin methylesterase inhibitor, negatively regulates ray petal elongation by inhibiting cell expansion. Petal size plays a crucial role in the quality of ornamental flowers, which is largely determined by cell expansion. However, the molecular mechanisms controlling this trait are still unknown. In this study, we reported GhPMEI58 (pectin methylesterase inhibitor 58), a functional pectin methylesterase inhibitor, negatively regulates ray petal elongation by inhibiting cell expansion. The expression of GhPMEI58 was found to be highest in ray florets and increased with ray petal elongation. Subcellular localization analysis showed that the GhPMEI58 protein is localized on the cell membrane. By stably overexpressing GhPMEI58 in Arabidopsis, we detected a decrease in pectin methylesterase activity in roots and flowers, and an increase in the degree of pectin methylation, indicating that GhPMEI58 functions as a pectin methylesterase inhibitor. Further transient overexpression and virus-induced gene silencing experiments in gerbera ray florets confirmed that GhPMEI58 is a negative regulator of ray petal elongation. Additionally, the activity assay of pectin methylesterase showed it has a trend of first rising and then falling during ray floret development. This study explores the regulatory mechanism of ray petal elongation in gerbera from the perspective of cell wall methylesterification modification, providing valuable information for improving gerbera varieties and breeding superior cultivars.
