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 phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a central role in organizing adaptive responses in plants to various abiotic stresses, helping the plant minimize the negative impact on growth and development. Rapid and direct detection of ABA is valuable for investigating plant responses to abiotic stress. In this work, we propose a novel label-free, non-competitive immunoassay for detecting and quantifying ABA easily and rapidly using a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor. The SPR sensor chip was functionalized with a commercial anti-ABA antibody, characterized for its affinity, binding kinetics, and specificity using the same platform. The direct assay demonstrated high specificity and sensitivity, with a calculated limit of detection of 1.36 ng/mL in buffer. The new immunosensor was applied to determine ABA concentrations directly in xylem sap samples from tomato plants subjected to abiotic stress (drought and high salinity) and was able to accurately reflect ABA levels corresponding to the applied stress. The results were comparable to the reference method, ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), establishing this new immunosensor as a novel detection method for rapid and reliable monitoring of ABA levels associated with abiotic stress in tomato plants.
