The down-regulation of MsWOX13-2 promotes enhanced waterlogging resilience in alfalfa.

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 waterlogging events are predicted to escalate globally as a result of climate change, threatening the sustainability of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and livestock production in the future. WUSCHEL-related homeobox (WOX) transcription factors are known to play a role in numerous developmental processes and abiotic stress responses; however, their function in waterlogging resilience has not been investigated as of yet. In the present study, we functionally characterized the alfalfa MsWOX13-2 gene, which we found to be differentially expressed in response to waterlogging. Although the RNAi-mediated silencing of MsWOX13-2 in alfalfa did not affect growth or morphology under normally watered conditions, MsWOX13-2 RNAi plants exhibited higher chlorophyll retention and maximum quantum efficiency of photosystem II, as well as greater survivability, compared to empty vector genotypes under waterlogging. Subsequent analyses indicated that MsWOX13-2 RNAi leaves accumulated less H
