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
TOPLESS (TPL) and TOPLESS-Related (TPR) corepressors are key regulatory proteins that interact with a variety of transcription factors to form specific complexes, thereby modulating a wide range of signaling pathways and metabolic processes. This study explored the function of the rice TPR gene OsTPR1. Transgenic rice lines overexpressing OsTPR1 (OsTPR1-Ox) exhibited reduced lateral root density, whereas OsTPR1 RNA interference lines (OsTPR1-Ri) showed increased lateral root density. To gain further insight, these transgenic lines were crossed with the DR5::GUS auxin reporter line. In 7-day-old seedlings, lateral root formation occurred in the differentiation zone of seminal roots, with GUS staining prominently localized in the lateral root primordia of the DR5::GUS/OsTPR1-Ri line. Similar results were observed in 45-day-old seedlings, where the DR5::GUS/OsTPR1-Ri line exhibited stronger GUS staining and a higher number of lateral roots in the crown root differentiation zones. In contrast, the DR5::GUS/OsTPR1-Ox line showed weaker GUS signals and fewer lateral roots. Additionally, the expression levels of several auxin efflux transporter genes encoding PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins, including OsPIN1a, OsPIN1b, OsPIN1c, OsPIN2, and OsPIN5a, were increased in the OsTPR1-Ri line but decreased in the OsTPR1-Ox line. These results suggest that OsTPR1 also modulates the expression of multiple OsPIN genes, thereby potentially influencing auxin responses and lateral root development. Beyond root development, OsTPR1 overexpression led to a significant increase in tiller angle and a delay in flowering time, whereas OsTPR1-Ri plants exhibited earlier flowering. These findings indicate that OsTPR1 acts as a negative regulator of the auxin response, with its overexpression leading to reduced auxin sensitivity and altered plant architecture. Our results show that OsTPR1 modulates lateral root development, tiller angle, and flowering time, contributing to the coordinated growth and development in rice.
