Epidermal bladder cells play a role in water retention in quinoa leaves.

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
Quinoa, a pseudocereal and leafy vegetable native to South America, is highly nutritious and can grow in harsh environments. One of the most prominent morphological features of quinoa is that the above-ground portion is covered with a layer of epidermal bladder cells (EBCs), and the role of EBCs in quinoa's high stress tolerance is of interest. Recent studies have shown that two WD40-repeat proteins, Reduced number of EBC (REBC) and REBC-like1, are required for EBC formation and that EBCs contribute defense mechanisms against biotic stress rather than abiotic stress. However, the role of EBCs in drought stress tolerance remains controversial due to the pleiotropic effects of these genes, including their impact on plant growth. Here, we show that REBC and REBC-like1 mediate water retention in detached quinoa leaves. Using a virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) system, we found that downregulation of both
