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

Introduction: The regeneration of roots is crucial for the survival and healthy development of double-root-cutting (DRC) grafted watermelon seedlings. However, methods to effectively enhance root regeneration in the rootstock of DRC grafted watermelons remain unclear. Methods: In this study, supplementary far-red (FR) light was applied to DRC grafted watermelon seedlings to evaluate its impact on seedling growth and rooting, using dark (CK) as the control. Results and discussions: It was discovered that supplementary FR light substantially promoted root development in the rootstock, reducing the time required for root regeneration and boosting root biomass. Transcriptome profiling indicated that genes associated with sugar catabolism, oxidative stress, and auxin signaling were markedly upregulated in roots by FR light at 4 d post-grafting. FR
