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

Phytosulfokine (PSK) signalling promotes drought adaptation in drought-sensitive plants. However, whether naturally drought-tolerant plants deploy PSK signalling in drought is unknown. We are using two sorghum varieties with different drought response phenotypes to investigate tolerance mechanisms. We show that PSK signalling components have high constitutive expression before stress in the drought-tolerant variety. In contrast, gene expression is low in the drought-sensitive variety and is induced after drought exposure. Ability of the drought-tolerant sorghum variety to maintain elevated PSK signalling under optimal water availability suggests that genetic and physiological factors driving drought tolerance may be linked to elevated constitutive PSK signalling.
