The miR164b-SiNAC015 Module Regulates Drought Tolerance by Scavenging Reactive Oxygen Species in Foxtail Millet.

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
Drought is the major abiotic stress threatening global crop yields, thus identifying potential candidates with promising breeding value has become a central goal of current breeding programmes. Here, we found that miR164b functions as a negative regulator in plant drought tolerance, whose expression is dramatically inhibited under drought stress. Overexpressing MIR164b reduced the drought tolerance, while STTM164 transgenic seedlings showed enhanced drought tolerance in foxtail millet. We further identified that NAC (NAM-ATAF1/2-CUC2) transcription factor SiNAC015 was a target of miR164b. The sinac015 mutants showed attenuated drought tolerance, whereas overexpressing mSiNAC015 (miR164b-resistant version) improved drought tolerance in foxtail millet. Genetic evidence indicated that SiNAC015 could function in the same pathway as miR164b to mediate drought response by directly repressing the expression levels of SitPRX genes, which encoded peroxidase (POD) involved in reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging. Additionally, the superior SiNAC015
