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
Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua is valued both as a precious traditional Chinese medicinal herb and as a prime example of a plant that bridges medicinal and culinary applications. Renowned for its significant medicinal and edible qualities, this botanical exemplifies a unique convergence of therapeutic and nutritional benefits. However, the primary rhizome of Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua development is difficult to germinate into seedlings in the same year. The germination of primary rhizome buds of P. cyrtonema can be promoted by treatment with exogenous hormone 6-BA, but the related regulatory mechanism is not clear. In this study, we found that the cytokinin oxidase (CKX) plays a key role in the germination of primary rhizome buds of P. cyrtonema. PcCKX1,2,3 promoted the expression of dormancy positively regulated genes, and repressed the expression of dormancy negatively regulated genes, which in turn inhibited Arabidopsis seed germination, and PcCKX2 was the major gene. PcCKX1,2,3 promoted the expression of dormant positively regulated genes such as sweet potato IbZEP, IbNCED3, IbDOG1, IbABI5, IbCKX3, and IbCKX7, which in turn delayed the sprouting of sweet potato rhizomes, and that PcCKX2 played a major role. We further screened three MYB transcription factors significantly associated with PcCKX1,2,3. Yeast one-hybrid, Dual-LUC, and EMSA experiments showed that PcMYB4, PcKUA1, and PcCSA all bind to and repress the expression of elements of the PcCKX1,2,3 promoter. Heterologous transformation of Arabidopsis experiments showed that PcMYB4, PcKUA1, and PcCSA repressed the expression of dormancy-associated genes such as DOG1, NCED3, ABI5, CKX3, and CKX7, which, in turn, facilitated Arabidopsis seed germination. Taken together, we found that PcMYBs are involved in the transcriptional regulation of PcCKXs to promote the germination of primary rhizome buds of P. cyrtonema. The results of this study lay the foundation for analyzing the molecular mechanism of primary rhizome bud germination in P. cyrtonema.
