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
introductionContamination of cereal grains by deoxynivalenol (DON) poses a significant threat to food safety. This toxic secondary metabolite, produced by F. graminearum, acts as a virulent factor to promote mycelium spread in plant tissue. Enzymatic degradation has emerged as a promising strategy for managing DON contamination, through effective detoxification that not only reduces the toxin's harmful effects but also impairs fungal invasion by disrupting its virulence mechanism. However, the availability of efficient DON detoxification enzymes remains limited.
objectivesGlycosyltransferases (GTs) are a class of important enzymes responsible for toxic compounds detoxification and natural products biosynthesis, but only a small fraction of GTs has been experimentally characterized. This study aimed to develop a deep learning model for predicting GTs' promiscuity and computationally identify new DON detoxification enzymes.
methodsThe transformer framework was applied to develop a GT-specific enzyme promiscuity prediction model. After computational prediction and preliminary verification, a series of biological assays including mycotoxin tolerance, seedling inoculation, and single floret injection were conducted to assess the resistance of transgenic wheat lines expressing newly identified enzymes against DON and F. graminearum infection.
resultsUsing the model, two UGTs capable of detoxifying DON were successfully identified. Transgenic wheat lines demonstrate increased resistance to Fusarium infection, evidenced by reduced mycotoxin accumulation and milder disease symptoms.
conclusionThis work highlights a promising data-driven approach for functional enzyme discovery in agricultural biotechnology. By enabling the identification of enzymes that mitigate mycotoxin contamination, this strategy contributes to improving food safety and strengthening the resilience of food systems against future biotic stressors.
