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

Natural variations provide valuable genetic resources for improving rice grain number per panicle (GNP). Here, our genome-wide association study (GWAS) identifies GNP2 and GNP5 as key regulators of GNP that enhance rice yield. GNP5 encodes a bZIP transcription factor binding to the S5779181 locus in the GNP2 promoter, where natural variation significantly influences GNP. GNP2 encodes a conserved GSK3-like kinase that phosphorylates and stabilizes Gnp4/LAX2. The phosphorylated Gnp4/LAX2
