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

We hypothesized that B-GATA family transcription factors have important roles in growth regulation in moss. We analyzed B-GATA family transcription factor mutants from Physcomitrium patens and Arabidopsis thaliana to assess growth, gene expression, and cytokinin-related processes under varying nitrogen conditions. We found that nitrogen-dependent growth and transcriptional regulation are strongly impaired in mutants from Physcomitrium and Arabidopsis. We detected altered cytokinin homeostasis or signaling in the mutants, linking hormonal imbalance to growth and transcription defects. We demonstrated a conserved, critical role of B-GATAs in plant nitrogen-responsive growth. Results suggest that B-GATAs influence nitrogen-regulated transcription downstream from cytokinin, supporting an ancient, evolutionarily conserved mechanism connecting nutrient signaling to growth. We provided experimental evidence for the long-speculated but as-yet not demonstrated role of GATA transcription factors in nitrogen-dependent growth in land plants.
