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
The ABCDE model is a well-known general model of floral development in angiosperms with perfect flowers, with some modifications in different plant taxa. The Fading Borders Model was proposed to better explain floral patterning in basal angiosperms that typically possess spirally arranged floral organs. The MADS-Box gene family is central to these models and has greatly expanded in higher plants which is associated with increasing complexity in floral structures. Amborella trichopoda is a basal angiosperm with simpler floral features, and the genetic and functional roles of MADS-Box genes in floral development remain poorly understood in the species. The major objectives of this study were to perform a genome-wide identification and characterization of MADS-Box genes in A. trichopoda, and to analyze their expression in floral buds and mature flowers. We identified 42 members of the MADS-Box gene family in A. trichopoda with a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based genome-wide survey. Among them, 27 were classified into Type II or MIKC group. Based on our classification and orthology analysis, a direct ortholog APETALA1 (AP1), an A-class floral MADS-Box gene was absent in A. trichopoda. Gene expression analysis indicated that MIKC-type genes were differentially expressed between male and female flowers with B-function orthologs: APETALA3 (AP3) and PISTILLATA (PI) in the species having differential expression between the two sexes, and E-function orthologs being upregulated in female flowers. Based on these findings, we propose a modification in the Fading Borders Model in A. trichopoda with a modified A-function, B- and E-function orthologs' expression being sex-specific, and C- and D-function genes having roles similar to that in the classical ABCDE model. These results provide new insights into the genetics underlying floral patterning in the basal angiosperm.
