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
Introduction: Cadmium (Cd) pollution lead to ecological problems and cause severe damages to plants. Investigating the signal response to Cd is crucial for improving Cd resistance during phytoremediation. While γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is known to accumulate rapidly under environmental stress, the real-time dynamics of GABA signaling and its mechanistic link to stress adaptation remain poorly understood. Methods: In this study, a sensitive GABA biosensor, iGABASnFR, was introduced into plants for the first time to monitor GABA signaling. Additionally, glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), a key enzyme catalyzing the conversion of glutamate (Glu) to GABA, was overexpressed in duckweed. The responses of GABA in extracellular vesicles (EVs) under Cd stress were analyzed using iGABASnFR transgenic duckweed. Cd accumulation, photosynthesis, and antioxidant activity were evaluated in GAD-overexpressing duckweed. Results: (1) GABA in extracellular vesicles of duckweed exhibited a dynamic response to Cd stress, as visualized by iGABASnFR transgenic duckweed. GABA content in EVs was significantly enhanced under Cd treatment. (2) GAD-overexpressing duckweed demonstrated improved photosynthetic efficiency and enhanced antioxidant capacity during Cd stress. (3) Cd accumulation was significantly increased in GAD transgenic duckweed, as evidenced by Cd Discussion: This study provides novel insights into the role of GABA in extracellular vesicles during Cd stress and establishes a direct link between GABA signal and Cd stress adaptation. The findings demonstrate that GAD overexpression enhances Cd resistance and accumulation in duckweed, offering a potential strategy for improving phytoremediation efficiency. This work advances our understanding of GABA signaling dynamics and its application in Cd stress.
