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
backgroundDNA demethylases regulate the levels of genomic DNA methylation in plants. The demethylase REPRESSOR OF SILENCING 1 (ROS1) is a crucial factor for modulating gene expression in plant disease responses. Bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzicola (Xoc), is a highly destructive disease in rice. BLS resistance in rice is known to be quantitatively inherited, but the mechanisms by which DNA methylation controls BLS resistance remain poorly understood.
resultsIn this study, we knocked down OsROS1a expression in the rice variety Nipponbare using RNA interference (RNAi). The average BLS lesion length in the transgenic (T2) OsROS1a-RNAi (RS) lines was significantly reduced compared to that in wild-type Nipponbare plants (NP). Using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), we analyzed the DNA methylations and transcriptomes of RS lines in comparison with NP at 0 (control), 5, 10, and 24 h post-inoculation with Xoc. A total of 1080 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to Xoc infection between the NP and RS lines were identified, which could be grouped into 8 clusters by K-means analysis. The DEGs in cluster 1 were enriched in the biological process related to defense response, response to stress, oxidation-reduction, etc. Integration of the methylome and transcriptome data revealed 112 overlapping differentially methylated and expressed genes (DMEGs). Gene Ontology (GO) analysis showed that the DMEGs were mainly involved in biological processes, such as metabolic process, cellular process, responses to stimulus, signaling, and immune system processes. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that these DMEGs were enriched in pathways related to glutathione metabolism, plant-pathogen interaction, cysteine and methionine, diterpenoid biosynthesis, photosynthesis, and starch and sucrose. Additionally, LOC_Os09g12660, encoding the glucose-1-phosphate adenylyl transferase large subunit, a chloroplast precursor involved in synthesizing activated glycosyl donor, showed strong potential to contribute to BLS resistance.
conclusionOsROS1a plays a crucial role in modulating rice resistance to bacterial leaf streak (BLS) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc). These findings provide valuable insights into the role of OsROS1a in BLS resistance.
