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

Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), threatens global banana production. Lignin reinforces cell walls against pathogens and lodging, yet its regulatory mechanisms in banana remain elusive. Through genome-wide association study (GWAS) of lignin content across 184 banana accessions, we identified MaERF110 (encoding an AP2/ERF transcription factor) as a key negative regulator. Overexpression of MaERF110 in banana and Arabidopsis significantly reduced lignin deposition, impaired plant structural integrity and enhanced susceptibility to Foc TR4. Integrative RNA-seq, yeast one-hybrid and electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed that MaERF110 directly binds the MaMYB308 promoter and activates its transcription. MaMYB308 overexpression similarly suppressed lignin biosynthesis genes and compromised disease resistance. Mechanistically, MaERF110-overexpression plants exhibited disrupted reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis, with elevated H
