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

The germination and elongation of maize in the early growth stage are closely related to the elongation of the mesocotyl, which is one of the first parts to sense external temperature, aside from the coleoptile. Low-temperature (LT, 10~15 °C) stress can significantly affect the survival and growth of maize seedlings. Additionally, brassinosteroids (BRs) have been used in recent years to help alleviate damage caused by LT in various plants. However, the interaction among LT, BRs, and sugar remains unclear. Therefore, we examined the relationships among the contents of glucose, sucrose, and starch, along with the changes in differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in starch and sucrose metabolism and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathways. Compared to CK (0 μM 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) application at 25 °C), the contents of glucose and sucrose increased by 0.26, 0.47, and 0.70 mg g
