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

The root meristem navigates the highly variable soil environment where water availability limits water absorption, slowing or halting growth. Traditional studies use uniform high osmotic potentials, poorly representing natural conditions where roots gradually encounter increasing osmotic potentials. Uniform high osmotic potentials reduce root growth by inhibiting cell division and shortening mature cell length. This protocol describes a simple and effective in vitro system using a gradient mixer that generates a vertical gradient in an agar gel based on the principle of communicating vessels, exploiting gravity to generate a continuous mannitol concentration gradient (from 0 to 400 mM mannitol) reaching osmotic potentials of -1,2 MPa. It enables long-term
