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

Bananas are highly susceptible to postharvest decay, resulting in reduced edibility. It is widely recognized that ethylene management is crucial for maintaining optimal quality during banana storage and transportation. Recent advances demonstrate significant success of spraying induced gene silencing (SIGS) technology in agricultural practice. Therefore, we hypothesize that SIGS can be explored for banana postharvest quality control. This study investigated the potential of dsRNA mediated SIGS for extending bananas shelf life. The expression of two kinds of rate-limiting enzymes, namely 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase (ACS) and oxidase (ACO) that involved in ethylene biosynthesis, was quantified by qPCR at first. Then, dsRNAs were designed and synthesized towards the predominant genes. Targeted silencing of
