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

Plant genetic engineering is crucial for enhancing crop yield, quality, and resilience to both abiotic and biotic stresses, thereby promoting sustainable agriculture. Agrobacterium-mediated, biolistic bombardment, electroporation, and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG)-mediated genetic transformation systems are widely applied in plant genetic engineering. However, these systems have limitations, including species dependency, destruction of plant tissues, low transformation efficiency, and high cost. Recently, gene-delivery methods based on nanotechnology have been developed for plant genetic transformation. This nanostrategy demonstrates remarkable transformation efficiency, excellent biocompatibility, effective protection of exogenous nucleic acids, and the potential for plant regeneration. However, the application of nanomaterial-mediated gene-delivery systems in plants is still in its early stages and faces numerous challenges for widespread adoption. Herein, the conventional genetic transformation techniques utilized in plants are succinctly examined. Subsequently, the advancements in nanomaterial-based gene-delivery systems are reviewed. The applications of CRISPR-Cas-mediated genome editing and its integration with plant nanotechnology are also examined. The innovations, methods, and practical applications of nanomaterial-mediated genetic transformation summarized herein are expected to facilitate the progress of plant genetic engineering in modern agriculture.
