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 presence of stone cells in pear fruit, caused by lignified secondary cell walls (SCWs), leads to a grainy texture in the fruit flesh, thereby compromising its overall quality. Lignification is influenced by various environmental signals, including light, however the underlying mechanism are poorly understood. This study reveals that SCW thickening and lignin accumulation in stone cells were regulated by a blue light signal, mediated through the activation of PbNSC by PbbHLH195. The results revealed that the stone cell formation was prompted by supplementary with blue light, with lignin accumulation linked to the upregulation of the NAC STONE CELL PROMOTING FACTOR (PbNSC). PbbHLH195 was identified as a novel molecular hub connecting lignification to blue light signal through its physical interaction with PbCRY1a. The biochemical and functional analysis indicates that PbbHLH195 contributes to stone cell lignification by activating the promoter of PbNSC. Our findings offer novel insights into the mechanisms of lignin biosynthesis in response to blue light, identifying valuable genetic targets for enhancing the fruit quality of pear.
