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

Hakea laurina, a woody Proteaceae, naturally occurs in severely phosphorus (P)-impoverished habitats in southwest Australia. It develops distinctive cluster roots that exhibit a high capacity for carboxylate exudation and acid phosphatase activity, contributing to its P acquisition. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these physiological functions remain poorly understood. We explored the cluster-root transcriptome using de novo RNA-Seq and identified Hakea laurina Aluminum-activated Malate Transporter 1 (HalALMT1), encoding an aluminum (Al)-activated malate transporter induced in mature cluster roots. We characterized HalALMT1 through electrophysiological assays and overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana, and localized HalALMT1 expression, acid phosphatase activity, and suberized boundaries in cluster roots. Differentially expressed genes highlighted multiple increased carboxylate-related processes at cluster-root maturity. HalALMT1 released malate, an activity further enhanced by exposure to Al
