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

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) serves as a pivotal tool for exploiting hybrid vigour and studying nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions. Despite its long-standing use in cotton breeding, the underlying mechanisms of the CMS-D2 system remain elusive. Our study unravelled the role of the mitochondrial chimeric gene orf610a in reducing fertility in cotton through its interaction with ATP synthase subunit D (atpQ). Using yeast two-hybrid, bimolecular luciferase complementation, and transgenic overexpression studies, we identified a unique interaction between orf610a and atpQ, which disturbs the assembly of ATP synthase. This interaction leads to a decrease in ATP levels, an increase in H
