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

key messageThe AP2/ERF transcription factor CaERF2 in pepper enhanced salt tolerance by scavenging reactive oxygen species. The effects of salt stress on plant development and progression are substantial. Ethylene response factor transcription factors (TFs) play a crucial role in responses to salt stress. Their functions in the salt response, particularly in pepper, are still mostly unknown. This study revealed the function of CaERF2 in salt tolerance of pepper plants. CaERF2 expression was dramatically increased in pepper plants following salt stress treatment. Under salinity treatment, CaERF2-silenced pepper showed decreased activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD), as well as reduced transcription levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging-related genes, resulting in increased O
