1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Traditional soil cultivation of lettuce faces challenges; hydroponic technology offers solutions to improve lettuce production. However, the interrelationships among the root phenotype of lettuce, auxin synthesis and signal transduction, and nutrient solution flow, and their effects on hydroponic lettuce growth remain unclear. We investigated the effects of nutrient solution flow state on lettuce's early growth, transcriptomic changes, and auxin-related gene expression. Growth indicators were measured 2, 4, and 6 days after transplanting. The shoot and root fresh weights, total root length, and root surface area were significantly higher under the flow treatment than under the non-flow condition. The shoot fresh weight increased by 29, 64, and 31%, respectively, at the three growth stages. A clear distinction was observed between the samples from different treatment groups. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways that were commonly enriched included "Plant hormone signal transduction (auxin)". Moreover, the significantly enriched Gene Ontology (GO) terms varied across different time points, which vividly reflected the dynamic characteristics of the plant's response. Genes related to auxin biosynthesis-such as
