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
MAIN
conclusionEthylene acts as a positive regulator of Coffea arabica direct somatic embryogenesis when using leaves as explants. Ethylene is a gaseous growth regulator synthesized by plants, acting on senescence and biotic and abiotic stress responses. It has also been associated with fruit ripening, carotenoid and anthocyanin accumulation, and embryogenesis. However, the role of ethylene during zygotic and somatic embryogenesis is not entirely elucidated. In this work, we aimed to investigate the role of early ethylene signaling during embryogenesis in Coffea arabica, one of the most important commercial plants. Thorough morphological and gene expression analyses were performed during fruit development and direct somatic embryogenesis (DSE). In addition, tissue culture explants in sealed flasks were used to evaluate the ethylene production during DSE. The genes encoding the ethylene receptors Ethylene Receptor 1 (ETR1), Ethylene Receptor 2 (ETR2), Ethylene Response Sensor 1 (ERS1), and Ethylene Insensitive 4 (EIN4) and one gene encoding the enzyme responsible for ethylene synthesis 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic oxidase (ACO) are expressed during direct somatic embryogenesis (DSE) and in zygotic embryogenesis during fruit development, each having a different gene expression profile. The addition of silver nitrate, an inhibitor of ethylene signaling, to tissue culture medium, positively influenced on pro-embryogenic mass formation but harmed embryo formation, suggesting that ethylene is involved in DSE in C. arabica. In addition, we confirmed ethylene production by leaf explants during DSE. Overall, we suggest that ethylene is an important positive regulator of direct somatic embryogenesis in C. arabica. We discuss the participation of ethylene perception in embryonic development and its connection to cytokinin and explant wounding.
