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

Hormones such as abscisic acid and brassinosteroids ameliorate stress tolerance in plants. The present investigation demonstrates the importance of brassinolide, an active form of brassinosteroids, in sustaining photosynthesis under high light (HL). The addition of brassinolide to mesophyll protoplasts activates the mitochondrial electron transport chain (mETC), particularly through an alternative oxidase (AOX) pathway. Brassinolide promotes both respiration and photosynthesis, including PSII activity, under HL. Total respiration was enhanced, but brassinolide caused a differential modulation of the components of mETC. The capacity of the AOX pathway was significantly enhanced, while the capacity of the cytochrome oxidase (COX) pathway was decreased in response to brassinolide under HL. Further, the transcripts of alternative oxidase1A (
