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
backgroundFunctional investigation of individual Rhizobium rhizogenes oncogene contributes to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying R. rhizogenes-plant transformation, which holds the potential of enhancing plants' abiotic stress resistance. The root oncogenic locus (rol) B gene, a key oncogene of R. rhizogenes, was reported to participate in abiotic stress resistance in transformed plants. Yet, the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. This study investigated Arabidopsis overexpressing A4-rolB (rolB-OX) for phenotypic modifications and short-term osmotic stress resistance.
resultsData showed that A4-rolB induced pronounced dwarfing phenotypes and weakened root growth in rolB-OX as shown by its compact growth and significantly decreased root length and root surface area (59% and 63% of wild type Col-0, respectively) under normal growth conditions. Under polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) 10% (w/v)-induced osmotic stress, rolB-OX exhibited enhanced resistance to osmotic stress compared with Col-0, as exemplified by less severe leaf wilting, increased total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and a better recovery of stomatal conductance after PEG treatment. Moreover, A4-rolB mediated enhancement in abscisic acid (ABA) levels under well-watered conditions, which may have facilitated stress resistance of rolB-OX under PEG exposure, probably through inducing TAC. Furthermore, after PEG stress, rolB-OX exhibited dramatically up-regulated (3.3-5.7-fold of Col-0) transcript levels of genes encoding plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) (i.e., PIP2;5 and PIP2;7), which are correlated with an improved plant hydraulic conductivity.
conclusionsThis study reports an enhanced osmotic stress resistance in rolB-OX, which could be attributed to A4-rolB-mediated increase in leaf ABA levels and TAC and improved stomatal regulation. Furthermore, the association between ABA and TAC, and its effect on the osmotic stress resistance caused by rolB, was thoroughly discussed in this study. These findings reveal novel physiological effects of A4-rolB on plant abiotic stress resistance.
