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

How plants perceive and respond to water availability, especially during the critical stages of seed formation and germination, is key to their survival. During development, ripening, and germination, seeds undergo large changes in water content, down to around 10% during maturation and up to 90% again within 24 h of germination. However, the mechanisms by which plants perceive and respond to their osmotic environment remain largely unknown. The results presented here indicate that the osmotic environment of the seed is perceived by the PM19L1 protein. We find the Arabidopsis plasma membrane protein PM19L1 is evolutionarily conserved in all land plants, is highly expressed in seeds and seedlings, and regulates germination under osmotic stress, as shown by the reduced germination of the
