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

This investigation systematically evaluated the effect of low (10 mg/L) and high (50 mg/L) concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), combined with 3 mg/L 2iP, on callus induction from shoot tip explants of Barhi date palm cv. The induced calli were used to establish an indirect somatic embryogenesis (ISE) system on MS medium supplemented with different plant growth regulator (PGR) formulations. Genetic stability was assessed using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Callus induced with low 2,4-D (C1) concentration exhibited significantly (p < 0.05) superior morphogenic competence, yielding a higher fresh weight (FW) of callus at both the induction (0.290 g/jar) and regeneration (0.475 g/jar) stages, more somatic embryos (100% frequency, 8/explant), and enhanced regeneration capacity compared to callus induced by high 2,4-D (C2). Regenerants from C1 displayed superior bud germination (6.2/explant), shoot proliferation (7/explant) and elongation (6.7 cm), as well as root induction (5.6/shoot) and elongation (6.3 cm). Plantlets were successfully acclimatized, achieving an 88.5% survival rate. ISSR analysis confirmed 97.5% of genetic fidelity among all regenerants. These results indicate that a lower 2,4-D concentration (10 mg/L) enhances callus vigor and subsequent organogenesis, facilitating a highly efficient and genetically stable ISE protocol for date palm micropropagation.
