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
Soil salinization hinders plant growth and agricultural production, so breeding salt-tolerant crops is an economical way to exploit saline-alkali soils. However, the specific metabolites and associated pathways involved in salt tolerance of the dandelion have not been clearly elucidated so far. Here, we compared the transcriptome and metabolome responses of 0.7% NaCl-stressed dandelion 'BINPU2' (variety A) and 'TANGHAI' (variety B). Our results showed that 222 significantly altered metabolites mainly enriched in arginine biosynthesis and pyruvate metabolism according to a KEGG database analysis in variety A, while 147 differential metabolites were predominantly enriched in galactose metabolism and the pentose phosphate pathway in variety B. The transcriptome data indicated that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in variety A were linked to secondary metabolite biosynthesis, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, and photosynthesis-antenna proteins. Additionally, KEGG annotations revealed the DEGs had functions assigned to general function prediction only, post-translation modification, protein turnover, chaperones, and signal transduction mechanisms in variety A. By contrast, the DEGs had functions assigned to variety B as plant-pathogen interactions, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, and photosynthesis-antenna proteins, including general function prediction, signal transduction mechanisms, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis from the KOG database functional annotation. Furthermore, 181 and 162 transcription factors (TFs) expressed under saline stress conditions specifically were detected between varieties A and B, respectively, representing 36 and 37 TF families. Metabolomics combined with transcriptomics revealed that salt stress induced substantial changes in terpenoid metabolites, ubiquinone biosynthesis metabolites, and pyruvate metabolites, mediated by key enzymes from the glycoside hydrolase family, adenylate esterases family, and P450 cytochrome family at the mRNA and/or metabolite levels. These results may uncover the potential salt-response mechanisms in different dandelion varieties, providing insights for breeding salt-tolerant crop plants suitable for saline-alkali land cultivation.
