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

Climate change increasingly threatens global agriculture, with drought emerging as a major constraint on crop productivity. Plants activate complex adaptive responses, involving genetic, physiological, and hormonal networks, to cope with water deficit. Among these, carotenoid-derived phytohormones, abscisic acid, and strigolactones regulate drought responses through modulation of stomatal conductance, antioxidant defenses, and hormonal crosstalk. Zaxinone, an apocarotenoid metabolite, and its synthetic analogs Mimic of Zaxinone 3 (MiZax3) and MiZax5 have recently emerged as plant growth regulators and SL biosynthesis inhibitors in Oryza sativa. This study investigates the effects of zaxinone and its mimics on rice drought encompassing morphometric, ecophysiological, biochemical, and molecular analysis. Exogenous treatment prior to the water deficit revealed compound-specific effects, in an organ-specific manner, on stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and stem water potential. We also observed differential ABA and zaxinone content and transcriptional regulation of stress-related genes across water regimes. Notably, MiZax5 treatment maintained higher Ψ
