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
backgroundPepper is a crucial vegetable crop with significant economic value, yet its yield and quality are severely affected by pepper Phytophthora Blight. Our previous research indicated that CaSBP12 negatively regulates pepper resistance to Phytophthora capsici (P. capsici) infection. However, the precise role of CaSBP12 in the defense response against P. capsici remains unclear. Thus, it is essential to investigate the defense mechanisms by which CaSBP12 contributes to pepper resistance against P. capsici infection.
resultsIn this study, silencing CaSBP12 significantly increased the expression of defense-related genes (CaBPR1, CaSAR8.2, CaDEF1, CaPO1) in CaSBP12-silenced plants compared to controls after P. capsici inoculation. Even under normal conditions, these genes exhibited higher expression levels in CaSBP12-silenced plants relative to controls. Conversely, these genes were downregulated in CaSBP12-overexpressing pepper plants under stress-free conditions. Therefore, we hypothesized that CaSBP12 mediates the P. capsici defense response through these genes. Further research involved salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathway mutants (sid2, coi1-21, coi1-22) and the NahG gene (salicylate hydroxylase, inhibiting SA accumulation in plants). Without treatment, SA pathway genes AtNPR1, AtTGA6, AtPR1, and AtSARD1 were significantly higher in CaSBP12-overexpressing Arabidopsis thaliana lines than in wild-type, while AtNPR3, AtTGA5, AtPAD4, AtNPR4, and AtNDR1 were lower. In the sid2 mutant, CaSBP12 promoted the expression of SA pathway genes except for AtPR1, which was suppressed. In coi1-21 and coi1-22 mutants, CaSBP12 promoted AtPR1 expression and suppressed the JA pathway gene AtPDF1.2. In NahG and CaSBP12 co-expression lines, SA pathway genes were higher compared to NahG-overexpressing lines, while AtPR1, AtNDR1, AtSARD1, and AtCBP60g levels were lower.
conclusionsCaSBP12 may participate in plant defense responses by regulating the expression of defense-related genes. It may inhibit upstream SA signaling genes NDR1, PAD4, and EDS5 while promoting NPR1 expression and inhibiting NPR3 and NPR4, thereby regulating PR gene expression to participate in plant defense responses. These findings lay the foundation for further elucidating the molecular mechanisms of CaSBP12 in pant defense response against P. capsici infection.
