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
backgroundDate palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is an important agricultural crop in the Middle East and North Africa. The productivity of agricultural crops and physiological function of plants can be greatly affected by climate change that is currently ongoing. According to a recent study, heat waves caused by global warming and climate change will continue to worsen. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the tolerance of plants, promote growth, and study solutions to reduce yield losses.
objectiveThe objective of this study is to investigate the role of specific heat-shock proteins (HSPs) from date palm in conferring heat tolerance to plants by analyzing gene expression and generating transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana.
methodsqRT-PCR was used to analyze 49 genes in date palms ('Sukkary' and 'Medjool') exposed at 37 °C for 2 h for heat-shock genes (HSPs). We selected specific heat-shock genes and generated transgenic Arabidopsis plants including PdHSP17.6, PdHSP22.0, PdHSP23.6, and PdHSP26.5. Photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) was assessed under heat-stress conditions.
resultsTransgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing date palm HSP genes maintained higher photosynthetic efficiency under heat stress compared to non-transgenic plants, indicating enhanced thermotolerance.
conclusionThese findings suggest that the introduced HSP genes play a critical role in enabling transgenic Arabidopsis to maintain the photosynthetic efficiency under heat stress, supporting the hypothesis that these genes contribute to thermotolerance in plants.
