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
backgroundPopulus hopeiensis, a significant afforestation species, faces substantial growth constraints due to cold stress. The IPT gene, a pivotal rate-limiting enzyme in cytokinin synthesis, plays a crucial role in controlling plant reactions to both biotic and abiotic pressures. In this study, we isolated the PhIPT5 gene from Populus hopeiensis and analyzed its biological characteristics and cold tolerance with the aim of providing guidance for the production of cold-resistant poplars.
resultsThe coding sequence (CDS) of the PhIPT5 gene spans 981 bp, encoding 333 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 37.07 kDa. The PhIPT5 protein has alkaline stability and hydrophilicity. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Populus hopeiensis IPT5 is closely related to Populus alba. Subcellular localization studies revealed the chloroplastic localization of PhIPT5. We constructed an overexpression vector for PhIPT5 and transformed it into Populus hopeiensis, resulting in improved cold tolerance in transgenic seedlings. Analysis of cytokinin metabolites revealed significantly greater levels in leaves harboring the PhIPT5 gene than in those harboring the CK gene even after exposure to cold. Furthermore, our findings suggest that the PhIPT5 gene primarily regulates the isoamyl pyrophosphate cytokinin metabolism pathway, leading to the synthesis of tZ, iP, and DZ cytokinins.
conclusionOur isolation of PhIPT5 from Populus hopeiensis demonstrated that its overexpression enhances resistance to cold stress in transgenic plants. This work provides a foundation for further elucidating the function of IPT genes and has significant implications for advancing research on enhancing cold tolerance in Populus hopeiensis.
