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.
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: The programmed cell death of buds directly affects the formation of a dwarf and compact crown in chestnut ( Methods: This study used 'the abscission bud' cultivar 'Tima Zhenzhu' and 'the non abscission bud' cultivar 'Dabanhong' as materials. By integrating histology, widely targeted metabolomics, transcriptomics, and hormone quantification, we systematically analyzed the dynamic changes that occurred during key stages of bud programmed cell death (PCD). Results: During bud abscission, typical PCD features were observed, including degradation of the cytoskeleton, cell wall shrinkage, and disintegration of vacuoles, nuclei, and other organelles. Hormone dynamics further revealed that the levels of active cytokinins decreased, whereas auxin precursors, ABA, jasmonic acid, and ethylene accumulated markedly, jointly driving the PCD process. At the S25 and S30 stages, 705 and 4,731 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, along with 241 and 345 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs), respectively. These molecules were significantly enriched in pathways such as plant hormone signal transduction, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, sugar metabolism, and lipid metabolism. Based on multi omics data, this study predicts a co regulatory network for bud PCD, illustrating how ordered programmed cell death is achieved through suppression of growth signals, activation of autophagy and antioxidant systems, and reprogramming of secondary metabolic flux. Discussion: These findings not only revealed the intrinsic molecular landscape of bud abscission in 'Tima Zhenzhu', but also provided potential targets and strategic insights for future metabolic engineering or genetic improvement.
