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 in vitro transformation of plants, or the delivery of foreign genetic material that is incorporated into their genomes, represents a powerful tool both for elucidating genotype-phenotype relationships and for generating plant cultivars which have desirable traits for agriculture and/or biotechnological applications. However, outside of a few model species, the processes involved in transformation are often inefficient and can take months to perform for many plant species, with several bottlenecks occurring at the different stages of calli induction, genetic transfection, and plant regeneration. While duckweeds - aquatic monocots whose species include some of the smallest and fastest-growing flowering plants on the planet - have distinguished themselves with several emerging biotechnological applications, they too are the subject of conflicting reports regarding their transformation potential and ability to be genetically manipulated. Here, we synthesized and optimized the protocols for in vitro transformation of duckweed
