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

Introduction: Methods: This study was performed with the use of two leaf phenotypes [Yellow area of variegated leaves (YS) and Green area of variegated leaves (GS)] of Results: Metabolomic analysis identified 4,036 common metabolites in GS and YS samples, with major enrichment in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. Secondary classification of this pathway indicated that flavonoids had the highest content. Further comparison of the expression levels of key metabolites revealed that the accumulation patterns of neohesperidin, taxifolin, naringenin, and xanthohumol in YS were all higher than those in GS, with naringenin showing the most significant difference, suggesting that it might be the core metabolite regulating leaf spot formation. According to subsequent transcriptome sequencing, 5,252 DEGs were screened out from the YS and GS samples, which were mainly enriched in flavonoid biosynthesis phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and other pathways. qRT-PCR presented the highest expression level in chalcone synthase ( Discussion: This study identifies the core intrinsic regulatory mechanism underlying leaf variegation in
