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

Alkaline stress limits crop productivity by causing osmotic and oxidative damage. This study investigated the new gene LcTprxII, a type II peroxiredoxin encoded by Leymus chinensis, and its role in enhancing alkaline stress tolerance in transgenic maize. The gene was cloned, overexpressed, and characterized using RT-PCR, phylogenetic analysis, and motif identification. Transgenic maize lines were generated via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and subjected to physiological, biochemical, and transcriptomic analyses under alkaline stress. Under alkaline stress, the results revealed that LcTprxII overexpression significantly preserved chlorophyll content, mitigated oxidative damage, and maintained growth compared to wild-type plants, as evidenced by elevated activities of antioxidant enzymes (APX, CAT, SOD, and POD) and reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) content. Transcriptomic profiling identified 3733 differentially expressed genes and the upregulation of ABA and MAPK signaling pathways, highlighting the role of these genes in stress signaling and metabolic adaptation. Hormonal analysis indicated reduced ABA and increased GA levels in the transgenic lines. This study identified WRKY, bHLH, and MYB transcription factors as key regulators activated under alkaline stress, contributing to transcriptional regulation in transgenic maize. Field trials confirmed the agronomic potential of
