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.
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
Huanglongbing (HLB), a devastating citrus disease caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), triggers persistent immune activation marked by excessive callose deposition and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, which impairs phloem function. This maladaptive response has led to HLB being described as a "pathogen-triggered immune disease". Overexpression of the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES1 (AtNPR1) gene, a master regulator of systemic acquired resistance (SAR), confers robust HLB tolerance in susceptible citrus varieties, with transgenic lines exhibiting minimal or no disease symptoms following CLas infection. However, the mechanism underlying this tolerance remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that AtNPR1 restores immune homeostasis in CLas-infected trees by suppressing callose and ROS hyperaccumulation, thereby alleviating HLB symptom development. Similarly, silencing the Citrus sinensis homolog of NPR3 (CsNPR3), a negative regulator of SAR, mitigates CLas-induced immune overactivation and enhances HLB tolerance. Notably, salicylic acid (SA) levels are lower in AtNPR1-overexpressing citrus plants than wild-type controls after CLas infection, consistent with NPR1's role in negative feedback regulation of pathogen-induced SA accumulation. In Arabidopsis, overexpression of AtNPR1 or disruption of AtNPR3/AtNPR4 also attenuates pathogen-induced callose and ROS responses. Together, these findings reveal conserved roles for NPR1/NPR3/NPR4 in immune regulation across species and suggest that HLB susceptibility in commercial citrus varieties stems from a diminished capacity to maintain immune balance.
